This study introduces a new classification system for surgical automation, categorizing systems based on how tasks are transferred from surgeons to machines. It defines six automation degrees for surgical assistance systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Surgical assistance systems represent a shift from manual to automated procedures.
  • Current classifications based on application or technical configuration do not adequately describe surgeon-system interaction.
  • A need exists for a standardized framework to understand automation levels in surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel classification system for the degree of automation in surgical interventions.
  • To provide a framework based on Human-Factors-Sciences principles for evaluating surgical assistance systems.
  • To illustrate the classification with practical examples of pre- and intraoperative systems.

Main Methods:

  • The classification is based on the assumption of tasks previously performed solely by the surgeon to the system.

  • It considers the passive or active roles of both the human surgeon and the machine.
  • Three functional areas are differentiated: information acquisition/analysis, decision-making/action planning, and execution of the surgical action.

    • Main Results:

    • A classification system with six categories representing different degrees of automation has been developed.
    • This system differentiates functions taken over by humans and/or the surgical assistance system.
    • The pattern is described and illustrated using examples of surgical assistance systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed classification provides a structured approach to understanding and evaluating automation in surgical assistance systems.
    • It facilitates a clearer description of the interaction between surgeons and automated systems.
    • This framework aids in the development and application of surgical technologies across different automation levels.
