Article Synopsis
- Robotic surgery with EndoWrist instruments provides enhanced movement for prostate cancer treatment, but trainees often struggle with suturing techniques.
- A study with 42 medical students compared the surgical proficiency using thumb-index vs. thumb-middle finger placements during simulation, measuring various performance metrics.
- Results indicated that the thumb-middle finger (1&3) placement resulted in fewer collisions and complications during surgery, suggesting it might be a more effective grip for training despite the initial belief that thumb-index (1&2) offers better range of motion.
