| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Laparoscopic surgical techniques are difficult to learn, and developing such skills involves a steep learning curve. To ensure surgeons achieve a high skill level, it is necessary to understand the performance differences between experienced and novice surgeons. We examined the differences in gripping and reaction force between experienced and novice surgeons during laparoscopic surgery.
We measured the gripping force generated during laparoscopic surgery performed on pigs using forceps with pressure sensors. Several sensors, including strain gauges, accelerometers, and a potentiometer, were attached to the forceps.Throughout the experiment, we measured the gripping force and reaction force generated during the movement of the forceps in real time.The experienced and novice surgeons exhibited similar reaction force levels.This study indicated experienced surgeons generate weaker but more stable gripping force than novice surgeons during laparoscopic operation.
