Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Improving pathway surgery for endoscopists involves enhancing control-display compatibility and using a visible instrument tip. These changes reduce spatial disorientation, shorten task times, and lower cognitive workload for novice surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Surgical simulation
  • Human-computer interaction

Background:

  • Spatial disorientation is a significant challenge for endoscopists in pathway surgery.
  • Control-display compatibility and local disorientation are key factors contributing to this disorientation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate methods for reducing spatial disorientation in pathway surgery.
  • To evaluate the impact of control-display mapping and instrument tip visualization on surgical performance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a custom simulator (Endo-PaC) for pathway surgical scenarios.
  • Assessed normal vs. mirrored mapping and thumb vs. wrist controls (Study 1).
  • Evaluated the effect of a tethered viewpoint (visible tip) on instrument navigation (Study 2).

Main Results:

  • Normal mapping significantly outperformed mirrored mapping across all performance metrics.
  • A visible instrument tip reduced task time and path length but increased collision errors for novices.
  • The majority of participants preferred normal control mapping.

Conclusions:

  • Eliminating visual-display misalignment enhances novice performance, reduces training time, and lowers cognitive workload.
  • A visible tip aids navigation but necessitates careful training to avoid errors.
  • Optimizing control interfaces is crucial for improving safety and efficiency in minimally invasive surgery.
