In the researchers' words
Investigators aimed to investigate the effects of video game habits, duration of experience, and training in different surgical clinics on the success of robotic surgery simulators. In this prospective, observational, comparative, and multi-clinic study, all participants played the Temple Run and Piano Tiles 2™ mobile games for one month after responding to a questionnaire including their sociodemographic characteristics, surgical experience, and past and current video game experience. At the end of the study period, participants experienced four different robotic surgery simulator tasks (Camera Targeting 1, Energy Switching 1, Ring \& Rail 2, Vertical Defect Suturing) in the da Vinci® Skills Simulator™. Additionally, sociodemographic data were statistically analyzed with mobile game scores, and 13 different performance scores were obtained from the simulator.
