Safety oriented evaluation (SOE) of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) performance skill

Nowadays robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is popular because of numerous benefits to patients. However, the surgical performance evaluation methods have always failed to catch up with the development speed of surgical robot system technology. In this paper, a method `SOE' to evaluate surgeons' robot-assisted MIS operation skill is provided. On the basis of third-person data and first-person data obtained in an experiment performed by an original master-slave surgical robot “MicroHand” in Tianjin University, not only the skills could be evaluated in details, but also the technology requirements for surgical robot are provided.
