A Comparative Study of Skills in Virtual Laparoscopy and Endoscopy • Adamsen S et al. 2005;19:229-234. As it is often assumed that a capable laparoscopist is also an endoscopist and vice versa, the authors used the MIST-VR and GI-Mentor II simulators to look for a correlation between the manual skills used in laparoscopy and those used in endoscopy. They found that the skills they observed in simulated laparoscopy do correlate with those in simulated flexible endoscopy.
