Minimally invasive surgery requires surgeons to allocate more attention and efforts than open surgery. A surgeon's pool of resource is affected by the multiple occurrences of interruptions and distractions in the operating room. Surgical flow disruption has been addressed from a quantitative perspective. However, little is known on its impact on the surgeons' physiological resources.
