title: Role of haptic feedback in a basic laparoscopic task requiring hand-eye coordination.
abstract: This work discusses the role and importance of haptic feedback and simulator training for simple laparoscopic tasks akin to the FLS peg-transfer task. Results from a study designed to examine haptics for this purpose are discussed.
