I didn't find any: Studies, but i've worked with many surgeons who don't have hands like adrian brody. It's important for pianists. Surgeons have excellent visuospatial skills, fine motor dexterity, motor planning & memory & kinesthetic/proprioceptive sense (abilty to " feel" where their fingers are in space & in relation to each other) , in case they don't have a clear visual field. That's why i only cut fabric.
