IMPORTANCE: To better understand the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in surgical training, efficacy of AI tutoring systems, such as the Virtual Operative Assistant (VOA), must be tested and compared with conventional approaches.
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity, which has contributed to a decrease in the number of open procedures. Hence a growing concern regarding the ability of laparoscopically trained surgeons to perform open surgery (e...
This study sought to develop basic robotic surgical skills among surgical trainees across multiple specialties using a VR-based curriculum and provided objective, on-demand, automated assessments using the Intuitive Learning platform. This curriculum...
BACKGROUND: Even though robot-assisted operations have evolved to a standard procedure in surgery, they are underrepresented in the curriculum of current medical students.
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance patient safety in surgery, and all its aspects, including education and training, will derive considerable benefit from AI. In the present study, deep-learning models were used to ...
Our artificial intelligence platform facilitated, evaluated, and provided real-time feedback on a standardized, simulated conversation. Learners evaluated the experience as equally effective to traditional education modalities and reported that it re...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) poses challenges for operators in training, with limited robot access on a platform requiring distinct surgical skills. Few simulators exist, and current virtual reality training modules exclude...
