A new platform that integrates optical tracking, magnetic tracking and a videographic recording system was successful in assessing surgical performance, according to a study in The American Journal of Surgery.
Researchers tested a platform to assess surgical performance across all modalities. Results showed that each modality could differentiate between expert and novice participants and metrics were well-correlated across modalities. Furthermore, the platform can be used without expert raters and has the potential to provide immediate feedback to trainees.
