Prior studies on technical skills use small collections of videos for assessment. However, there is likely heterogeneity of performance among surgeons and likely improvement after training. If technical skill explains these differences, then it shou...
To ensure satisfactory clinical outcomes, surgical skill assessment must be objective, time-efficient, and preferentially automated-none of which is currently achievable. Video-based assessment (VBA) is being deployed in intraoperative and simulation...

BACKGROUND: Several automated skill-assessment approaches have been proposed for robotic surgery, but their utility is not well understood. This article investigates the effects of one machine-learning-based skill-assessment approach on psychomotor s...
With introduction of the da Vinci single-port (SP) system, we evaluated which multiport (MP) robotic skills are naturally transferable to the SP platform. Three groups of urologists: Group 1 (5 inexperienced in MP and SP), Group 2 (5 experienced in...
There has been widespread adoption of robotic total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer in recent years. There is now increasing interest in training robotic novice surgeons in robotic TME surgery using the principles of component-based learn...

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic surgery has demonstrated various advantages for the patients' care, but also presents some difficulties for the surgeons, such as kinematic restrictions. Robotic comanipulation, in which control of instruments is shared between ...
While robotic procedures are growing rapidly, medical students have a limited role in robotic surgeries. Curricula are needed to enhance engagement. We examined feasibility of augmenting Intuitive Surgical (IS) robotic training for medical students. ...
BACKGROUND: The Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills (GEARS) rubric provides a measure of skill in robotic surgery. We hypothesize surgery performed by more experienced operators will be associated with higher GEARS scores.
INTRODUCTION: Despite the importance of simulation-based training for robotic surgery, there is no consensus about its training curricula. Recently, a virtual reality (VR) platform (SimNow, Intuitive, Inc) was introduced with 33 VR drills but without...
INTRODUCTION: Video-based review of surgical procedures has proven to be useful in training by enabling efficiency in the qualitative assessment of surgical skill and intraoperative decision-making. Current video segmentation protocols focus largely ...
