“…Four studies assessed the effect of music on a general score rating surgical task performance [21, 23–25]. Two studies used the total score, generated by the simulator’s built-in software [21, 23].…”

“…Shakir et al used a validated general motion analysis score based on the parameters time to task completion, tremor, extreme movements and overall movement pattern. This general motion analysis score was significantly improved during exposure to preferred music [25]. Significant beneficial effect of classical music on the total score was also observed in simulated intra-ocular surgery [21].…”

“…Five out of nine studies reported beneficial effects of music on different surgical performance domains. Beneficial effects of music were observed on TTC [20, 22, 26], instrument handling [20, 22, 26], task performance quality [22] and general surgical task performance [21, 25]. Moreover, one study also observed an attenuating effect of music on muscle activation, which can be correlated to muscle fatigue [26, 29].…”

Introduction Beneficial effects of music have been described on several cognitive domains, task performance, stress, anxiety and pain. Greater surgical skill is a factor that has been associated with improved patient outcome. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effect of music on surgical performance. Methods An exhaustive literature search was performed. The following databases were searched: Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTAL, PsycINFO Ovid, CINAHL EBSCOhost, ERIC EBSCOhost and Google Scholar. All prospective studies that assessed the effect of a music intervention compared to either another auditory condition or silence on surgical performance were included in a qualitative synthesis. The study was registered in the PROSPERO-database (CRD42018092021). Results The literature search identified 3492 articles of which 9 studies (212 participants) were included. Beneficial effects of music were reported on time to task completion, instrument handling, quality of surgical task performance and general surgical performance. Furthermore, a beneficial effect of music on muscle activation was observed. Conclusion Although beneficial effects of music on surgical performance have been observed, there is insufficient evidence to definitively conclude that music has a beneficial effect on surgical performance in the simulated setting. Future studies should be conducted using greater numbers of participants focusing on a more limited range of tasks, as well as validation in the live operating environment.

“…To date, all these studies have been conducted in a simulated setting [5], as surgical performance in a simulated setting correlates to performance during actual real-world surgery and influences postoperative patient outcome [6][7][8][9]. It is unclear whether the reported beneficial effects of music on surgical performance are due to an auditory stimulus and not music per se, as all but one [10] of the previous studies used silence as a control [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Given that high noise level settings are commonly prevalent in the operation room (OR) [19], it could be argued that using silence as a control factor is therefore not appropriate when evaluating the effect of music on surgical performance.…”

Background Worldwide, music is commonly played in the operation room. The effect of music on surgical performance reportedly has varying results, while its effect on mental workload and key surgical stressor domains has only sparingly been investigated. Therefore, the aim is to assess the effect of recorded preferred music versus operating room noise on laparoscopic task performance and mental workload in a simulated setting. Methods A four-sequence, four-period, two-treatment, randomized controlled crossover study design was used. Medical students, novices to laparoscopy, were eligible for inclusion. Participants were randomly allocated to one of four sequences, which decided the exposure order to music and operation room noise during the four periods. Laparoscopic task performance was assessed through motion analysis with a laparoscopic box simulator. Each period consisted of ten alternating peg transfer tasks. To account for the learning curve, a preparation phase was employed. Mental workload was assessed using the Surgery Task Load Index. This study was registered with the Netherlands Trial Register (NL7961). Results From October 29, 2019 until March 12, 2020, 107 participants completed the study, with 97 included for analyzation. Laparoscopic task performance increased significantly during the preparation phase. No significant beneficial effect of music versus operating room noise was observed on time to task completion, path length, speed, or motion smoothness. Music significantly decreased mental workload, reflected by a lower score of the total weighted Surgery Task Load Index in all but one of the six workload dimensions. Conclusion Music significantly reduced mental workload overall and of several previously identified key surgical stressor domains, and its use in the operating room is reportedly viewed favorably. Music did not significantly improve laparoscopic task performance of novice laparoscopists in a simulated setting. Although varying results have been reported previously, it seems that surgical experience and task demand are more determinative.
