Abstract

This study explores the design and development of a laparoscopic surgery Pediatric Box trainer used with augmented reality (AR) training. A cohort of 11 medical residents from Hershey Medical Center, with varied experience in laparoscopic surgery, participated in a peg transfer task to assess hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and ambidexterity while interacting with the Pediatric Box trainer. Results showed the average force exerting on the needle holder averaged 0.43 N and 0.33 N for the dominant and non-dominate hands, respectively. Individual laparoscopic grasping profiles were shown to uniquely vary among users. Future work will further develop the system to provide more effective AR training feedback based on the grasping force sensed.
