N2 - One of the key components of any training environment for surgical education is a method that can be used for assessing surgical skills. Traditionally, defining such a method has been difficult and based mainly on observations. However, through advances in modeling techniques and computer hardware and software, such methods can now be developed using combined visual and haptic rendering of a training scene. This paper presents some ideas on how metrics may be defined and used in the assessment of surgical skills in a virtual laparoscopic training environment.
