Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current evaluation methods for robotic-assisted surgery (ARCS or GEARS) are limited to 5-point Likert scales which are inherently time-consuming and require a degree of subjective scoring. In this study, we demonstrate a method to break down complex robotic surgical procedures using a combination of an objective cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis and kinematics data obtained from the da Vinci® Surgical System to evaluate the performance of novice robotic surgeons.
