Measuring fatigue and stress in laparoscopic surgery: validity and reliability of the star-track test.

Background: The star-track test has been assessed as valid and reliable to measure manual dexterity in the context of open surgery. We aimed to determine the construct validity and test-retest reliability of the star-track test for manual dexterity in a laparoscopic setting.

Material And Methods: The star-track test was performed in a laparoscopic box trainer.
