Laparoscopic sigmoid resection heightens surgeon mental strain versus conventional; extends RCT evidence on cognitive load of minimally invasive colorectal techniques.
Does laparoscopic sigmoid resection increase mental strain measured by heart rate variability in surgeons compared to conventional sigmoid resection?
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery causes higher mental strain in surgeons than conventional surgery, as indicated by a higher LF/HF ratio.
