Laparoscopic skills training: the effects of viewing mode (2D vs. 3D) on skill acquisition and transfer

ConclusionNovices demonstrate superior performance in laparoscopic skills training using a 3D viewing mode compared to 2D. However, this does not necessarily translate to superior performance in subsequent testing or enhanced learning overall. Rather, test performance appears to be dictated by the viewing mode used during testing, not that of prior training.
