82. Replicating Visuo-Motor Remapping in the Laparoscopic Environment
DescriptionDuring laparoscopic surgery the surgical field must be viewed via a camera system because the normal line of sight is obviated. In surgeries where the camera must be placed at an oblique angle, deviating from the axis which would form the normal line of sight, the video system imposes a rotational distortion. Such distortion disrupts normal hand-eye coordination, requiring a visuo-motor remapping and decreasing task performance in a predictable manner (Cresswell et al., 1999; Klein et al., 2015). The current study replicates an investigation into such remapping which used computer screens, in a laparoscopic simulator. Results confirm that performance decrements previously observed in laparoscopic simulation can be attributed to adaptation observed in basic perceptual research. The current study brings new methods for measuring adaptation in the laparoscopic environment and for applying directional statistics where linear statistics have less appropriately been deployed (S Rao Jammalamadaka & Ashis Sengupta, 2001).
