(author)Background The aim of this study was to examine the influence of training under direct vision prior to training with indirect vision on the learning curve of the laparoscopic suture task. Methods Novices were randomized in two groups. Group 1 performed three suturing tasks in a transparent laparoscopic box trainer under direct vision followed by...journal article 2015

Horeman, T. (author), Meijer, E.J. (author), Harlaar, J.J. (author), Lange, J.F. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author), Dankelman, J. (author)The tension in a suture is an important factor in the process of wound healing. If there is too much tension in the suture, the blood flow is restricted and necrosis can occur. If the tension is too low, the incision opens up and cannot heal properly. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and evaluation of the Stitch Force (SF)...journal article 2013

Horeman, T. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Box trainers equipped with sensors may help in acquiring objective information about a trainee's performance while performing training tasks with real instruments. The main aim of this study is to investigate the added value of force parameters with respect to commonly used motion and time parameters such as path length, motion volume, and task...journal article 2013

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
