Vascular pedicle dissection time in laparoscopic colectomies as a novel marker of surgical skill: a prospective cohort study
This study showed that the VPDT was inversely correlated with the CAT score, indicating that it quantifies operative technical skill. A current study is evaluating the suitability of VPDT for real-time measurement using computer vision algorithms. This could allow for automated assessment of surgeons' learning curve and skills.
