| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Robot-assisted surgery is expected to help overcome the technical difficulty of laparoscopic surgery. Although novel surgical techniques have been developed, how to gain the maturity for using such techniques has become a very important consideration. Investigators for psychology have studied many factors in their correlation with success from learning. Among these factors, we focused on “metacognition”. "spatial cognition" We showed the involvement of metacognition in surgeons for gaining the fundamental techniques necessary for carrying out robot-assisted surgery. However, spatial cognitive ability in urological surgeons have no effect on the gain in fundamental robot-assisted surgery skills.We believe that further investigation of the role of metacognition in learning the skills necessary for carrying out robot-assisted surgery might allow for the evaluation of the potential characteristics required for surgical residents, and to improve their learning curve for these skills.
