Effect of Mobile Video Games on Laparoscopic Simulation Skills in Medical Students

The study examined the effect of mobile video games on the development of laparoscopic skills in medical students. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that requires specific skills and hand-eye coordination. The research focused on whether playing mobile games could improve simulation skills necessary for laparoscopic procedures. The study was conducted at Marmara University and included a behavioral intervention involving mobile gaming. The research falls within the field of surgical education and skill acquisition through simulation training. The objective was to determine whether there is a correlation between playing mobile games and improved laparoscopic abilities in students.
