The analysis of 741 surgical procedures revealed that forceps grasp counts correlated strongly with procedure time in single-incision laparoscopic surgeries. Statistically significant differences were noted, with longer times and higher grasp counts for male patients compared to female patients. As surgeons gained experience, both grasp counts and procedure times decreased, although novice surgeons took longer to enhance forceps manipulation skills. These findings underscore efficient forceps manipulation as a critical measure of surgical competency.
