A new computer-controlled system, the Advanced Dynamic Endoscopic Performance Tracker (ADEPT), objectively evaluates endoscopic skills. This system provides precise feedback for surgical training and performance analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology
  • Performance Evaluation

Background:

  • Objective assessment of endoscopic skills is crucial for surgical training.
  • Current methods may lack precision and standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an advanced computer-controlled system for objective endoscopic task performance evaluation.
  • To provide a standardized platform for assessing surgeon proficiency.

Main Methods:

  • The Advanced Dynamic Endoscopic Performance Tracker (ADEPT) system utilizes a dual gimbal mechanism for instrument manipulation.
  • Tasks are performed on a specialized target object with adjustable difficulty levels.
  • System software guides surgeons, collects performance data, and saves it for analysis.
