ARA Masie Rahimi ECEline CoxDelft University of Technology SHSem F. Hardon

Key Points

This research aims to improve training in laparoscopic intestinal anastomosis by quantifying air leakage.
Developed the LeakChecker to assess anastomotic leakage quantitatively.
Evaluated skill levels of novices and experts during training scenarios.
The LeakChecker provides objective feedback on skills and performance.
It successfully differentiates between novices and experts in their technique.

Abstract

The LeakChecker can quantify anastomotic leakage during training as it objectively distinguishes between novices and experts. Implementing this kind of smart training task in a training program with objective skill assessment would inform participants of both their instrument handing skills and the quality of their execution.
