Decoding surgical skill: an objective and efficient algorithm for surgical skill classification based on surgical gesture features -experimental studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various surgical skills lead to differences in patient outcomes and identifying poorly skilled surgeons with constructive feedback contributes to surgical quality improvement. The aim of the study was to develop an algorithm for evaluating surgical skills in laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on the features of elementary functional surgical gestures (Surgestures).

Materials and methods

Seventy-five laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos were collected from 33 surgeons in five hospitals. The phase of mobilization hepatocystic triangle and gallbladder dissection from the liver bed of each video were annotated with 14 Surgestures. The videos were grouped into competent and incompetent based on the quantiles of modified global operative assessment of laparoscopic skills
