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...
Object recognition is among the basic survival skills of human beings and other animals. To date, artificial intelligence (AI) assisted high-performance object recognition is primarily visual-based, empowered by the rapid development of sensing and c...

Simulation training provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where members of the multi-professional team can practice both their technical and non-technical skills. Poor teamwork and communication are recurring contributing factors to adverse mat...
BACKGROUND: Elucidating how robotic skills are best obtained will enable surgeons to best develop future robotic training programs. We perform a randomized controlled trial to assess the performance of robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery, transf...
Many known supervised deep learning methods for medical image segmentation suffer an expensive burden of data annotation for model training. Recently, few-shot segmentation methods were proposed to alleviate this burden, but such methods often showed...
We aimed to assess whether early exposure of medical students to robotic surgery training influences their interest in a surgical career and improves scores on objective simulation tasks. Medical students were invited to participate in robotic online...
Simulation is increasingly being used to train surgeons and access technical competency in robotic skills. The construct validity of using simulation performance for high-stakes examinations such as credentialing has not been studied appropriately. T...
