N2 - In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a surgeon needs to acquire a certain level of basic psychomotor MIS skills to perform surgery safely. Evaluation of those skills is a major impediment. Although various assessment methods have been introduced, none of them came as a superior. Three aspects of assessing psychomotor MIS skills are discussed here: (i) advantages and disadvantages of currently available assessment methods, (ii) methods to objectively classify residents according to their level of psychomotor skills, and (iii) factors that influence psychomotor MIS skills. Motion analysis has a potential to be the means to deal with assessment of psychomotor skills. Together with classification methods (e.g. linear discriminant analysis), motion analysis provides an aid in deciding whether a resident is ready to move to the next level of training. Presence of factors that influence psychomotor MIS skills results in a high need for standardisation of valid tasks and setups used for the assessment of MIS skills
