Brief summary: This study aims to evaluate the influence of perceived peer performance on the clinical skill of trocar placement during laparoscopic cholecystectomy among surgeons and surgical residents. It investigates whether exposure to incorrect trocar placements by peers affects the accuracy of subsequent placements.

* Spanish mother tongue
* Experience in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
* Consent to participate

Exclusion Criteria:

* Physical disability preventing understanding or response
* More than 3 years of suspension from surgical practice

Primary outcomes:
measure: accuracy of the trocar placements
timeFrame: 1 week
