Correlation between a motion analysis method and Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills for assessing interns' performance in a simulated peg transfer task in Jordan: a validation study

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to validate the use of ProAnalyst (Xcitex Inc.), a program for professional motion analysts to assess the performance of surgical interns while performing the peg transfer task in a simulator box for safe practice in real minimally invasive surgery.

Methods

A correlation study was conducted in a multidisciplinary skills simulation lab at the Faculty of Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology from October 2019 to February 2020. Forty-one interns (i.e., novices and intermediates) were recruited, and an expert surgeon participated as a reference benchmark. Videos of participants’ performance were analyzed using ProAnalyst and the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS). The two sets of results were analyzed to identify c
