Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

29
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Objective assessment of surgical skills is crucial for competency-based medical education.
  • Current advancements in computer vision have not been fully integrated into surgical training.
  • Laparoscopic surgery requires specialized technical skills that necessitate objective evaluation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer algorithm for the automatic classification of surgical skills in laparoscopy.
  • To assess the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) for objective evaluation of surgical expertise.
  • To explore the potential of AI in enhancing surgical training and certification processes.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study utilized a bench-top simulator for the "precision cutting" task from the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery.
  • An AI algorithm, based on a transformer neural network, was developed to classify laparoscopic task videos as expert or novice.
  • The model underwent fivefold cross-validation, with performance evaluated using standard metrics including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC.

Main Results:

  • The AI model achieved an accuracy of 0.867 in classifying novice versus expert surgical skills based on video analysis.
  • Classification accuracy was independent of task completion time.
  • A lower accuracy of 0.57 was observed for single-image classification.

Conclusions:

  • This pilot study demonstrates the potential of AI and computer vision for objective classification of surgical expertise.
  • The developed algorithm shows promise for supporting and enhancing surgical training and certification.
  • Further validation is required to integrate this technology into routine surgical education and assessment.
