Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Existing approaches for assessing surgical performance are subjective and prone to bias. In contrast, utilizing digital kinematic and system data from the surgical robot allows the calculation of objective performance indicators (OPIs) that may differentiate technical skill and competency. This study compared OPIs of trainees and attending surgeons to assess differences during robotic lobectomy (RL).
