Hassan, B. Gerdes, M. Koller, B. Dick, D. Hellwig, M. Rothmund, A. Zielke] Objects: This study evaluates the influence of visual-spatial perception on laparoscopic performance of novices with a virtual reality simulator (LapSim®). Materials and methods: Twenty-four novices completed standardized tests of visual-spatial perception (Lameris Toegepaste Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek [TNO] Test® and Stumpf-Fay Cube Perspectives Test®) and laparoscopic skills were assessed objectively, while performing 1-h practice sessions on the LapSim®, comprising of coordination, cutting, and clip application tasks. Outcome variables included time to complete the tasks, economy of motion as well as total error scores, respectively. Results: The degree of visual-spatial perception correlated significantly with laparoscopic performance on the LapSim® scores. Participants with a high degree of spatial perception (Group A) performed the tasks faster than those (Group B) who had a low degree of spatial perception (p = 0.001). Individuals with a high degree of spatial perception also scored better for economy of motion (p = 0.021), tissue damage (p = 0.009), and total error (p = 0.007). Conclusion: Among novices, visual-spatial perception is associated with manual skills performed on a virtual reality simulator. This result may be important for educators to develop adequate training programs that can be individually adapted.
