From the most popular and most exiting computer technologies are computer games. Computer games have several advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages of the games are epileptic attack, physical injuries, cardiovascular problems and high blood pressure, and the advantages of these games are increasing the accuracy of visual, spatial visualization and visual-motor skill. According to research conducted, computer technologies improve psychomotor skills in surgery, particularly in laparoscopic surgery. Conclusion: Computer instruction technologies are practical teaching tools to enhance the psychomotor skills in surgery.
