Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Surgical skill assessment tools such as the End-to-End Assessment of Suturing Expertise (EASE) can differentiate a surgeon's experience level. In this simulation-based study, we define a competency benchmark for intraoperative robotic suturing using EASE as a validated measure of performance.
