BACKGROUND: Ultrasound guidance increases the success rate of peripheral intravenous catheter placement. However, the longer time required to obtain ultrasound-guided access poses difficulties for ultrasound beginners. Notably, interpretation of ultr...
We aimed to investigate the effects of video game habits, duration of experience, and training in different surgical clinics on the success of robotic surgery simulators. In this prospective, observational, comparative, and multi-clinical study, all ...

PURPOSE: Classic methods of surgery skills evaluation tend to classify the surgeon performance in multi-categorical discrete classes. If this classification scheme has proven to be effective, it does not provide in-between evaluation levels. If these...
RAPN training usually takes place in-vivo and methods vary across countries/institutions. No common system exists to objectively assess trainee capacity to perform RAPN at predetermined performance levels prior to in-vivo practice. The identification...

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...
