Robotic surgical objective performance indicators show promise in assessing surgical skill, predicting postoperative outcomes, and measuring intraoperative efficiency in preliminary studies.
Systematic Review
Do robotic surgical objective performance indicators (OPIs) predict postoperative patient outcomes and measure intraoperative efficiency?
Objective performance indicators in robotic surgery show promise for assessing surgical skill, predicting patient outcomes, and measuring efficiency, though further multicenter validation is needed.
Objective intraoperative performance metrics are a new resource for the field of surgical data science. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review to analyze the existing literature on robotic surgical objective performance indicators (OPIs). OPIs have been used to assess surgical skill and provide automated, objective feedback in multiple settings. Clinically, OPIs have been used to predict postoperative patient outcomes and measure intraoperative efficiency. OPIs have shown promise in preliminary surgical education and patient outcomes-related studies, and further multicenter collaborative research will be imperative to validate the use of OPIs in the field of surgery.
Gerull et al. (Fri,) conducted a systematic review in Robotic surgery. Robotic surgical objective performance indicators (OPIs) was evaluated.
