A surgical instrument motion measurement system for skill evaluation in practical laparoscopic surgery training.

ABSTRACT: This study developed and validated a surgical instrument motion measurement system for skill evaluation during practical laparoscopic surgery training. Owing to the various advantages of laparoscopic surgery including minimal invasiveness, this technique has been widely used. However, expert surgeons have insufficient time for providing training to beginners due to the shortage of surgeons and limited working hours. Skill transfer efficiency has to be improved for which there is an urgent need to develop objective surgical skill evaluation methods. Therefore, a simple motion capture-based surgical instrument motion measurement system that could be easily installed in an operating room for skill assessment during practical surgical training was developed.
