To query the literature for predictive factors for performance on arthroscopic and laparoscopic surgical simulators in novice surgical trainees. These predictive factors may prove a valuable tool in identifying certain innate potential to becoming a future skilled surgeon that could benefit both surgical residency candidates and program directors alike, while also improving patient care.
Systematic Review.
The initial searches yielded 249 articles. After screening titles/abstracts and implementing inclusion and exclusion criteria, 36 studies were included in the final systematic review.
Current literature suggests that video game experience/frequency, psychomotor and visuospatial aptitude, and perceptual ability are among the most promising predictive indicators of baseline simulator performance. Study limitations include utilization of different standards for characterizing predictive factors. Future studies should aim to utilize standard guidelines for accurate quantification of innate predictive factors. Future research should also focus on utilizing standardized simulator platforms and aptitude tests to allow for more accurate cross-study comparisons and meta-analyses with larger sample sizes.
查询文献，寻找新手外科实习生在关节镜和腹腔镜手术模拟器上表现的预测因素。这些预测因素可能是一种有价值的工具，可用于识别未来成为熟练外科医生的某些内在潜力，这对手术住院医师候选人及项目主任均有益，同时还能改善患者护理。
系统评价。
初步检索得到249篇文章。在筛选标题/摘要并实施纳入和排除标准后，最终的系统评价纳入了36项研究。
当前文献表明，电子游戏经验/频率、心理运动和视觉空间能力以及感知能力是基线模拟器表现最有前景的预测指标。研究局限性包括对预测因素特征描述采用不同标准。未来研究应旨在利用标准指南准确量化内在预测因素。未来研究还应侧重于利用标准化模拟器平台和能力测试，以便进行更准确的跨研究比较和更大样本量的荟萃分析。
