Summary

Investigators aimed to investigate the effects of video game habits, duration of experience, and training in different surgical clinics on the success of robotic surgery simulators.

In this prospective, observational, comparative, and multi-clinic study, all participants played the Temple Run and Piano Tiles 2™ mobile games for one month after responding to a questionnaire including their sociodemographic characteristics, surgical experience, and past and current video game experience. At the end of the study period, participants experienced four different robotic surgery simulator tasks (Camera Targeting 1, Energy Switching 1, Ring \& Rail 2, Vertical Defect Suturing) in the da Vinci® Skills Simulator™. Additionally, sociodemographic data were statistically analyzed with mobile game scores, and 13 different performance scores were obtained from the simulator.

Video game & Robotic surgery simulator success

A questionnaire was administered to all participants, asking about their demographic information, surgical experience, hobbies, and previous video game playing experiences. After the questionnaire, the participants were asked to play the Temple Run (Imangi Studios, NC, USA) and Piano Tiles 2™ mobile games for one month. At the end of the period, with the da Vinci® Skills Simulator™ for one hour, all participants performed four different robotic surgery simulator tasks (Camera Targeting 1, Energy Switching 1, Ring \& Rail 2, Vertical Defect Suturing) that require the ability to apply basic robotic surgery rules and measure surgical skills.
