Video-based surgical skill assessment using 3DĀ convolutional neural networks.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: A profound education of novice surgeons is crucial to ensure that surgical interventions are effective and safe. One important aspect is the teaching of technical skills for minimally invasive or robot-assisted procedures. This includes the ...

Surgical skill levels: Classification and analysis using deep neural network model and motion signals.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, the assessment of surgical skills relies primarily on the observations of expert surgeons. This may be time-consuming, non-scalable, inconsistent and subjective. Therefore, an automated system that can objectivel...

Improving Outcomes Defending Patient Safety: The Learning Journey in Robotic Liver Resections.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: While laparoscopy is currently adopted for hepatic resections, robotic approaches to the liver have not gained wide acceptance. We decided to analyze the learning curve in the field of robotic liver surgery comparing short-term outcomes b...

Use of a robotic camera holder (FreeHand) for laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
Use of a mechanical arm to hold the laparoscopic camera has many advantages. FreeHand (FreeHand Ltd, Guildford, United Kingdom) is a robotic camera holder which uses head movement and infrared technology. This trial assessed the usefulness of FreeHa...

Enabling single-site laparoscopy: the SPORT platform.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The Single Port Orifice Robotic Technology (SPORT) Surgical System by Titan Medical Inc. is designed to overcome the inherent challenges of minimally invasive single-access procedures. The aim of this preclinical study was to evaluate the...

Evaluation of a pneumatic surgical robot with dynamic force feedback.

Journal of robotic surgery
Robot-assisted surgery is limited by the lack of haptic feedback and increased operating times. Force scaling adjusts feedback transmitted to the operator through the use of scaling factors. Herein, we investigate how force scaling affects forces exe...

Microanalysis of video from a robotic surgical procedure: implications for observational learning in the robotic environment.

Journal of robotic surgery
Without haptic feedback, robotic surgeons rely on visual processing to interpret the operative field. To provide guidance for teaching in this environment, we analyzed intracorporeal actions and behaviors of a robotic surgeon. Six hours of video were...
