    Summary

    Training minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with varied port sites improves surgical skill generalization. Experiencing different limb movements enhances the central nervous system's ability to adapt, leading to better performance in novel situations.

    Area of Science:

    • Motor learning and skill acquisition
    • Surgical education and training

    Background:

    • Structural learning theory posits that motor task variation aids the central nervous system in extracting generalizable rules.
    • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) involves complex procedures with varying port sites, necessitating adaptable limb movements for consistent instrument control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the applicability of structural learning theory to MIS training.
    • To determine if varied port site training enhances skill generalization in MIS.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants (n=20) trained in a laparoscopic box trainer using a tablet interface.
    • Two groups: M group (multiple port sites) and S group (single port site).
    • Performance assessed using speed and accuracy composite (SACF) and normalized jerk (NJ) at a novel port site.

    Main Results:

    • The M group demonstrated significantly improved SACF (p < 0.05) compared to the S group.
    • The M group also showed significantly better movement smoothness, indicated by lower NJ (p < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • Incorporating a structural learning approach, specifically varied port site training, shows potential benefits for MIS.
    • This approach may enhance training for junior surgeons and inform the development of surgical simulation devices.
