Description
Summary:The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based object detection technology has made identification of position coordinates of surgical instruments from videos possible. This study aimed to find kinematic differences by surgical skill level. An AI algorithm was developed to identify X and Y coordinates of surgical instrument tips accurately from video. Kinematic analysis including fluctuation analysis was performed on 18 laparoscopic distal gastrectomy videos from three expert and three novice surgeons (3 videos/surgeon, 11.6 h, 1,254,010 frames). Analysis showed the expert surgeon cohort moved more efficiently and regularly, with significantly less operation time and total travel distance. Instrument tip movement did not differ in velocity, acceleration, or jerk between skill levels. The evaluation index of fluctuation β was significantly higher in experts. ROC curve cutoff value at 1.4 determined sensitivity and specificity of 77.8% for experts and novices. Despite the small sample, this study suggests AI-based object detection with fluctuation analysis is promising because skill evaluation can be calculated in real time with potential for peri-operational evaluation.
