| Abstract: | This thesis investigates errors in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), particularly during early laparoscopic training. To address this, two studies were conducted. Study 1 involved Problem-Centred Expert Interviews (PCEIs) with three laparoscopic experts to develop the Patterns of Identifying Errors (PIE) Framework, which identifies cognitive processes like error detection, labelling, evaluation, and recovery. The study highlighted spatial disorientation and excessive force as common errors among intermediate surgeons. Study 2 used electromyography (EMG) with two participants to explore the relationship between muscle co-activation and tissue damage in simulated tasks, offering insights into motor learning and control. Results indicated increased muscle co-activation over time, with one participant showing consistent motor control improvements. However, the study could not conclude the link between muscle co-activation and tissue damage due to data analysis limitations. Despite these challenges, the thesis contributes valuable insights into cognitive and motor processes in laparoscopic training, providing a foundation for future research aimed at improving surgical performance and patient safety. |
