Surgeons were asked to complete the SAGES FLS 'Dexterity Peg Board' Task twice: first using multiple ports, then using a single incision.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="2d4e03c0.jpg" border=0 width="224" height="316" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <I>ProMIS being used for SIS on a FLS Peg Transfer Task</I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
