Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Meet the next generation of doctors—and their surgical robots
your next surgeon will definitely be a human. But just as medical students are training to use a scalpel, they're also training to use robots
Article Description
We 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-clinical study, all participants played Temple Run and Piano Tiles 2 mobile games for 1 month, after answering a questionnaire including their sociodemographic characteristics, surgical experience, and past and current video game experience. At the end of the period, participants experienced four different robotic surgery simulator tasks (Camera Targeting 1, Energy Switching 1, Ring and Rail 2, Vertical Defect Suturing) in da Vinci Skills Simulator. Additionally, sociodemographic data were statistically analyzed with mobile game scores and 13 different performance scores obtained from the simulator. All robotic surgery simulator skill applications were carried out at Ege University Hospital in Izmir. All surgical residents in the general surgery, urology, and pediatric surgery clinics were included in the study. Sixty of the sixty-four participants in total completed all the processes. Four participants were excluded from the study. When clinical performances were compared, it was seen that the general surgery clinic performed better than other clinics in two parameters (overall score, time to complete) of the 'Camera Targeting' task (p = 0.01 and p = 0.006). Participants with mobile phone games experience were successful in the 'Energy Switching' task with less misapplied energy time (p = 0.039). Participants with high scores in Piano Tiles 2 were more successful in the 'Energy Switching' task and completed the 'Ring Rail' task with fewer movements (p < 0.05). Participants with more surgical and laparoscopic surgery experience scored higher in the ‘Camera Targeting’ and 'Energy Switching' tasks and completed the assignments with less movement. Again, these participants completed the 'Vertical Defect Suturing' task faster and the ‘Ring Rail’ task with less movement. In addition, participants with more laparoscopy experience scored higher in the 'Ring Rail' task (p < 0.05). In this study, we showed the effect of recent gaming experience on robotic surgery abilities along with previous video game experience. For surgeons and surgeon candidates in robotic surgery training, the importance of video game-based learning techniques will increase when combined with rapidly developing simulation technologies.
