A new test of manual dexterity and a test of spatial ability were administered to 37 participants of a microsurgery training course. Performance on microsurgical tasks undertaken by the trainees to assess their surgical skill correlated significantly (rho = -0.54, P < or = 0.01) with manual dexterity and (rho = 0.36, P < or = 0.05) spatial ability. The first of these findings is contrary to those of studies concerned with general surgery whereas the second confirms the results of reported research. Explanation for the results is given in terms of the specific nature of microsurgical skill compared with general surgery.
一项新的手部灵活性测试和一项空间能力测试被施用于一个显微外科培训课程的37名参与者。学员们进行的用于评估其手术技能的显微外科任务表现与手部灵活性显著相关（rho = -0.54，P≤0.01），与空间能力也显著相关（rho = 0.36，P≤0.05）。这些发现中的第一个与普通外科相关研究结果相反，而第二个则证实了已报道研究的结果。根据显微外科技能与普通外科相比的特殊性质对结果进行了解释。
