Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

938
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.6K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

699
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Robotic surgery
  • Surgical education
  • Competency-based education

Background:

  • Effective assessment tools are crucial for competency-based surgical education.
  • Objective performance indicators (OPIs) offer a novel method for evaluating surgeon performance in robotic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Video and Objective Robotic Task Evaluation index on Superior Pulmonary Vein dissection (VORTEX-SPV).
  • To assess cardiothoracic (CT) fellow competency in superior pulmonary vein (SPV) dissection during robotic lobectomy using VORTEX-SPV.

Main Methods:

  • CT fellows performed robotic lobectomy on a porcine model, with synchronized video and kinematic data captured.
  • The VORTEX-SPV assessment includes 12 items evaluating completion, safety, economy of motion, and optimized performance, combining video review and OPIs.
  • Rasch modeling and item response theory were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the VORTEX-SPV assessment.

Main Results:

  • The study assessed 109 CT fellows across two cohorts, with high reliability (expected a posteriori = 0.90).
  • Performance levels ranged from completion (14 trainees) to optimized performance (24 trainees), with items demonstrating appropriate difficulty progression (Spearman's rho = 0.93).

Conclusions:

  • VORTEX-SPV demonstrates strong reliability and validity for assessing robotic surgery skills.
  • This tool serves as a robust framework to facilitate competency-based education in robotic surgery, specifically for SPV dissection.
