- The study expects potato ear carving to prove a reliable and effective tool. for assessing fine motor skills in oral surgery residents. It is anticipated that residents with more advanced training will demonstrate superior performance in carving tasks, showing higher precision and anatomical accuracy. The method should be well-received, offering valuable feedback on skill development. Additionally, the findings may highlight the potential of potato ear carving as an accessible, low-cost alternative for early-stage fine motor skill assessment and training in oral surgery, contributing to improved competency and patient safety.

简要总结
This study advances surgical education by providing controlled evidence that motor refinement is a trainable and quantifiable skill, not merely acquired through clinical exposure. It emphasizes the role of neuroplasticity and repetition in improving micro-level hand movements essential for anatomical modeling. By tracking improvements across objective criteria—symmetry, detailing, and execution time—it highlights the impact of motor-specific exercises on skill acquisition. The findings underscore the need to treat fine motor training as a core competency, contributing to curriculum design in fields requiring high-precision manual skills, such as reconstructive and microsurgery.
The study evaluates and enhances key technical capabilities essential for precision-driven surgery. These include fine motor control, bimanual coordination, spatial awareness, and manual steadiness—all critical for replicating complex anatomical structures. Through repetitive training, participants are expected to demonstrate improved accuracy in contouring, better surface detailing, and reduced execution time. The structured protocol also allows for objective assessment of skill progression, highlighting how consistent motor drills can strengthen hand–eye coordination and instrument handling efficiency. These improvements reflect core competencies required in reconstructive, aesthetic, and microsurgical procedures, supporting the integration of skill-focused modules into surgical training.
This study supports integrating fine motor skill training into early surgical curricula. By demonstrating measurable improvement through structured practice, it advocates for low-cost, skill-focused modules that enhance surgical readiness, reduce intraoperative errors, and build technical confidence before clinical exposure—improving outcomes in reconstructive and precision-based surgical procedures.
