Formal robotic training diminishes the learning curve for robotic pancreatoduodenectomy: Implications for new programs in complex robotic surgery.

Journal of surgical oncology
INTRODUCTION: The learning curve associated with robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) is a hurdle for new programs to achieve optimal results. Since early analysis, robotic training has recently expanded, and the RPD approach has been refined. The pur...

Clearness of operating field: a surrogate for surgical skills on in vivo clinical data.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Automatic surgical skill assessment is an emerging field beneficial to both efficiency and quality of surgical education and practice. Prior works largely evaluate skills on elementary tasks performed in the simulation laboratory, which cann...

Experienced bedside-assistants improve operative outcomes for surgeons early in their learning curve for robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) relies heavily on the bedside assistant (BA). Currently, the relationship between BA experience and surgical outcomes in robotic surgery is not clear. We examined whether bedside assistant expe...

Part 1: Artificial intelligence technology in surgery.

ANZ journal of surgery
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the disruptive technologies of the fourth Industrial Revolution that is changing our work practices. This technology is in use in highly diverse industries including health care, defence, insurance and e-commerc...

Sensor-based indicators of performance changes between sessions during robotic surgery training.

Applied ergonomics
Training of surgeons is essential for safe and effective use of robotic surgery, yet current assessment tools for learning progression are limited. The objective of this study was to measure changes in trainees' cognitive and behavioral states as the...

Evaluation of a stand-alone robotic camera holding system: technology that improves laparoscopy.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
INTRODUCTION: In order to perform laparoscopic procedures, a surgeon requires an assistant to hold the camera. Problems with this approach include table crowding leading to poor ergonomics, and miscommunication leading to poor images. AutoLap is a no...

The Use of Cumulative Sum Analysis to Derive Institutional and Surgeon-Specific Learning Curves for Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Journal of endourology
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) approach has been adopted to evaluate surgical competence in various contexts. The CUSUM method comprises sequential monitoring of cumulative differences from a target level in performance quality over time, allowing the d...

The automaton as a surgeon: the future of artificial intelligence in emergency and general surgery.

European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field involving computational simulation of human intelligence processes; these applications of deep learning could have implications in the specialty of emergency surgery (ES). ES is a rapidly advancing ...
