Abstract
PURPOSE: Automatic surgical skill assessment is an emerging field beneficial to both efficiency and quality of surgical education and practice. Prior works largely evaluate skills on elementary tasks performed in the simulation laboratory, which cannot fully reflect the variety of intraoperative circumstances in the real operating room. In this paper, we attempt to fill this gap by expanding surgical skill assessment onto a clinical dataset including fifty-seven in vivo surgeries.
