Consensus map for robotic right lower lobectomy-essential components for artificial intelligence and education applications.

ABSTRACT: The use of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is being increasingly adopted for many thoracic operations. Developing procedural maps based on expert consensus for RATS procedures can facilitate the learning and use of minimally invasive surgery by serving as the basis for training curricula or even more novel, artificial intelligence-based interventions. The purpose of this study was to use cognitive task analysis (CTA) to develop a consensus procedural map for robotic right lower lobectomy based on individual procedural maps from highly experienced robotic thoracic surgeons, identify operative phases and steps considered to be essential, and to identify patient and surgeon factors that influence operative decision making. Seven expert robotic thoracic surgeons were interviewed about
