Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Horeman, T. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)It is generally assumed that safety of tissue manipulations during (laparoscopic) surgery is related to the magnitude of force that is exerted on the tissue. To provide trainees with performance feedback about tissuehandling skills, it is essential to define objective criteria for judging the safety of applied forces. To be of clinical relevance...journal article 2011

Horeman, T. (author), Rodrigues, S.P. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background - To improve endoscopic surgical skills, an increasing number of surgical residents practice on box or virtual reality (VR) trainers. Current training is focused mainly on hand–eye coordination. Training methods that focus on applying the right amount of force are not yet available. Methods - The aim of this project is to develop a...journal article 2011

Westebring-Van der Putten, E.P. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Jakimowicz, J.J. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)Background- Surgeons may cause tissue damage by incorrect laparoscopic pinch force control. Unpredictable tissue and grasper properties may cause slips or ruptures. This study investigated how different forms of haptic feedback influence the surgeon’s ability to generate a safe laparoscopic grasp while pulling tissues of variable stiffness using...journal article 2008

Chmarra, M.K. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Background - Not much is known about the exact role offorce feedback in laparoscopy. This study aimed to determine whether force feedback influences movements of instruments during training in laparoscopic tasks and whether force feedback is required for training in basic laparoscopic force application tasks. Methods - A group of 19 gynecologic...journal article 2008
