BACKGROUND: We compared surgeons' workload, physical discomfort, and neuromusculoskeletal disorders (NMSDs) across four surgical modalities: endoscopic, laparoscopic, open, and robot-assisted (da Vinci Surgical Systems).
The aim of this study was to develop machine learning classification models using electroencephalogram (EEG) and eye-gaze features to predict the level of surgical expertise in robot-assisted surgery (RAS). EEG and eye-gaze data were recorded from 11...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this original study was to investigate general surgeons' perceptions on the role of dual surgeon operating for high-risk, elective complex surgical procedures.
BACKGROUND: Currently, only a limited number of remote assistance modalities are utilized in the basic phase of robotic surgery training to facilitate the rapid acquisition of robotic surgery skills by surgeons. This study aimed to investigate the be...
OBJECTIVE: Existing approaches for assessing surgical performance are subjective and prone to bias. In contrast, utilizing digital kinematic and system data from the surgical robot allows the calculation of objective performance indicators (OPIs) tha...
BACKGROUND: The increased digitization in robotic surgical procedures today enables surgeons to quantify their movements through data captured directly from the robotic system. These calculations, called objective performance indicators (OPIs), offer...
Data on surgical robots are not openly accessible, limiting further study of the operation trajectory of surgeons' hands. Therefore, a trajectory monitoring system should be developed to examine objective indicators reflecting the characteristic para...
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) can offer revolutionary advances in their application to the field of spine surgery. Within the past 5 years, novel applications of ML have assisted in surgical decision-making, intraoperative imaging...
The field of robotic-assisted surgery is expanding rapidly; therefore, future robotic surgeons will need to be trained in an organized manner. Here, we aimed to examine surgeon performance on the Sinaflex Robotic Telesurgery System for correlation wi...
INTRODUCTION: Surgical complications often occur due to lapses in judgment and decision-making. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to train algorithms that identify anatomy and interpret the surgical field. These algorithm...
