Spatial Cognition Ability in Surgeons Performing Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery by Juli YAMASHITA, Takeshi OKUDA, Takayuki TASAKI, Jun TAKAHASHI

“…However, no significant difference was observed in the DIT scores between the smaller error and larger error groups of the SOT. The results indicated that two DIT trials were sufficient to acquire psychomotor skills for the DIT as the endoscope was almost fixed and learning only one viewpoint and line of sight combination was adequate. …”
