Spatial ability, experience, and skill in laparoscopic surgery   Authors: Madeleine M Keehner Ph.D. a c, Frank Tendick Ph.D. a, Maxwell V Meng M.D. b, Haroon P Anwar M.D. a, Mary Hegarty Ph.D. c, Marshall L Stoller M.D. b, Quan-Yang Duh M.D. a   Reviewer: David Laith Rawaf, MD   Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/emj_kZPs    🔬💡 Are surgical simulations the key to better training for surgeons? A fascinating paper published in the American Journal of Surgery explores this very question, shedding light on the effectiveness of simulation-based training in surgical education. The study delves deep into the impact of simulation on various aspects such as skills acquisition, retention, and transferability, offering valuable insights into the future of surgical training methods.   This study challenges the notion of surgeons as a spatially exceptional population, suggesting that spatial abilities among surgeons may not be as exceptional as previously believed. Both novice and experienced surgeons demonstrated scores on spatial ability tests comparable to or slightly lower than published norms, potentially influenced by age differences. Interestingly, while spatial ability correlated with operative skills in novice urology course participants, no such correlation was found in the experienced laparoscopic surgery group, highlighting the evolving importance of cognitive abilities during different phases of skill acquisition.   The study's findings suggest that spatial ability may play a significant role in the initial phases of skill acquisition but becomes less critical as skills become proceduralised with experience. However, the study also acknowledges limitations, such as the subjective nature of skills rating and the need for further research on the role of individual differences in abilities and optimised training methods. This research opens avenues for debate on the role of spatial ability in surgical training and performance. While some advocate for using spatial ability tests to assess medical students' aptitude for surgery, caution is advised due to the evolving nature of skill development and the multifaceted influences on surgical skills beyond spatial ability alone. Future studies should explore longitudinal changes in the relationship between cognitive abilities and surgical skills, optimising training methods to accommodate individual differences and enhancing performance in complex surgical scenarios through simulation-based training.   Join the discussion on LinkedIn and share your insights into the evolving landscape of surgical education and performance assessment! #SurgicalSimulation #MedicalEducation #DebateDiscussion Elliot Street, Ross Davies, Ali Khalid, Ben Quinton
