Physical and Mental Load in the Surgeon Performing Laparoscopic Tasks

NCT00311285 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The surgeons load during laparoscopic surgery is still unclear. Laparoscopic surgery is more demanding because of the challenge of operating through small scars in the abdominal wall without any tactile feedback depending only on the visual feedback on a monitor. The purpose is to establish a model of how to measure mental and physical load in laparoscopy.
