Abstract:
In this work, we describe a novel platform for quantifying surgical suturing skill. Forces and user movements are recorded using sensors during suturing maneuvers performed on a suture patch. Preliminary results from a pilot experiment suggest that force data could be used for objective assessment of suturing skill.
