Towards virtual FLS: development of a peg transfer simulator

Peg transfer is one of five tasks in the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS), program. This paper reports the development and validation of a Virtual Basic Laparoscopic Skill Trainer‐Peg Transfer (VBLaST‐PT©) simulator for automatic real‐time scoring and objective quantification of performance.
