Novel workflow analysis of robot-assisted hysterectomy through objective performance indicators: a pilot study
This pilot study presents a novel methodology to analyze and compare individual rTLH procedures with truly objective measurements. Through collection of robotic data streams and standardized segmentation, OPI measurements for specific rTLH surgery steps can be reliably calculated and compared to those of other surgeons. This provides opportunity for critical standardization to the gynecology field, which can be integrated into individualized training plans in the future. However, more studies are needed to establish context surrounding these metrics in gynecology.
