Objective performance indicators during robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass distinguish experienced from trainee surgeons: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Objective performance indicators (OPIs) obtained during robotic surgery have been associated with surgeons' experience and may influence patient outcomes. However, their evaluation in bariatric surgery has received little attention. The study aimed to evaluate whether OPIs can effectively distinguish experienced surgeons from trainees during robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (r-RYGB).

Methods

Kinematic and event data were recorded during r-RYGB operations (n = 31; 2 experienced attending surgeons, 6 trainees) utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System's data recorder between August 2021 and December 2022. De-identified data were extracted, videos annotated within eight surgical steps, and OPI generated and analyzed. OPIs generated included console active time, instru
