Why the study?
Literature intersecting surgical data science and operative nontechnical skills is diverse and growing rapidly, with Surgical Sabermetrics offering a potential method to improve surgeon and patient outcomes.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Sensor-based nontechnical skill metrics remain investigational; leaves open objective decision-making assessment before any practice change.
The literature detailing the intersection between surgical data science and operative nontechnical skills is diverse and growing rapidly. Surgical Sabermetrics may provide a promising modifiable technique to achieve desirable outcomes for both the surgeon and the patient. This study identifies a diverse array of measurements possible with sensor devices and highlights research gaps, including the need for objective assessment of decision-making. Future studies may advance the integration of physiological sensors to provide a holistic assessment of surgical performance.
