(author), van der Peet, Donald L. (author), Daams, Freek (author), Hardon, S.F. (author), Horeman, T. (author)Collision feedback about instrument and environment interaction is often lacking in robotic surgery training devices. The PoLaRS virtual reality simulator is a newly developed desk trainer that overcomes drawbacks of existing robot trainers for advanced laparoscopy. This study aimed to assess the effect of haptic and visual feedback during...journal article 2024

(author), Kowalewski, Karl Friedrich (author), Müller-Stich, Beat P. (author), van der Peet, Donald L. (author), Daams, Freek (author), Nickel, F. (author), Horeman, T. (author)Introduction: Robot-assisted surgery is often performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. However, this technique requires a different set of technical skills and surgeons are expected to alternate between these approaches. The aim of this study is to investigate the crossover effects when switching between laparoscopic and robot-assisted...journal article 2023

(author), Sanchez Margallo, J.A. (author)The complexity of handheld steerable laparoscopic instruments (SLI) may impair the learning curve compared to conventional instruments when first utilized. This study aimed to provide the current state of interest in the use of SLI, the current use of these in daily practice and the type of training which is conducted before using SLI in the...journal article 2022

Robertson, P.D. (author), Sterke, F. (author), van Weteringen, Willem (author), Arezzo, Alberto (author), Mintz, Yoav (author), Nickel, Felix (author), Horeman, T. (author)Background<br/>During laparoscopy, the abdominal cavity is insufflated with carbon dioxide (CO2) that could become contaminated with viruses and surgical smoke. Medical staff is potentially exposed when this gas leaks into the operating room through the instruments and past trocar valves. No detailed studies currently exist that have quantified...journal article 2021

(author)Background: Complications that occur in laparoscopic surgery are often associated with the initial entry into the peritoneal cavity. The literature reported incidences of Veress needle (VN) injuries of e.g. 0.31% and 0.23%. In a 2010 national survey of laparoscopic entry techniques in the Canadian General Surgical practice, 57.3% of...journal article 2021
