Simulation in laparoscopic surgery: a concurrent validity study for FLS.

George G Xeroulis, Adam A Dubrowski, and Ken K Leslie

Surg Endosc 23(1):161-5 (2009) PMID 18814001

Current assessments using the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) tasks are labour intensive and depend heavily on expert raters. Hand motion analysis may offer an alternative method of objective evaluation of FLS performance.
