Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Deep learning enables precise hand tracking without the need for physical sensors, allowing for unsupervised quantitative evaluation of surgical motion and tasks. We quantitatively assessed the hand motions of experienced cerebrovascular neurosurgeons during simulated microvascular anastomosis using deep learning. We explored the extent to which surgical motion data differed among experts.
