The Impact of Gender, Videogaming and Music Playing on Robotic Surgery Simulation Performance
Repeated simulation improves the performance of surgically naïve medical students. Women and non-video gamers had higher penalty scores, but women tend to improve their skills quickly. As videogaming is much more frequent within the group of men, it is possible that videogaming itself, and not gender, can have a positive effect by enhancing eye-hand coordination.
