Study to Assess Imaging Technology on Cognitive Workload and Performance in Minimally Invasive Surgery
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of image resolution and 3D imaging on cognitive load (i.e. NASA-TLX) and laparoscopic skill performance in a simulated surgical skill environment (i.e., regular peg transfer vs. inverted peg transfer).
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- The participants will be 18 years of age or older.
- Equal numbers of males, females and minorities, as feasible, working in the Department of Surgery at Mayo Clinic.
- Participants will be required to complete a visual acuity and stereoscopic vision exam.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants that fail to complete and pass the visual acuity and stereoscopic vision exams.
- Participants will be excluded if unable to complete the exams and devote the minimum study time.
