This study developed new metrics to assess surgical trainee risk during simulated mastoidectomy. These metrics evaluate trainee field of view, force, and velocity application for improved patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical simulation and performance evaluation
  • Medical engineering and biomechanics
  • Otolaryngology and neurosurgery training

Background:

  • Evaluating surgical trainees traditionally focuses on task completion and avoiding direct injury.
  • Subtle stylistic behaviors that minimize patient risk are difficult to quantify and teach.
  • Objective metrics are needed to assess and improve risk management in surgical training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate metrics for evaluating trainee risk during simulated mastoidectomy.
  • To quantify trainee performance in maintaining visibility and applying safe forces and velocities.
  • To enable objective feedback for improving surgical technique and patient safety.

Main Methods:

  • Developing metrics to assess trainee's field of view during simulated mastoidectomy.

  • Learning models of safe force and velocity limits based on expert surgeon performance.
  • Utilizing 3D visualization to highlight areas of excessive force, velocity, or insufficient visibility.

    • Main Results:

    • Quantitative scoring of trainee performance based on risk metrics.
    • Interactive 3D visualization pinpointing specific errors in force, velocity, and visibility.
    • Identification of areas where trainees deviate from expert surgeon safety parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed metrics provide objective risk assessment for surgical trainees.
    • Interactive visualization aids trainees in understanding and correcting unsafe behaviors.
    • The methodology shows potential for broader application across various surgical procedures.
