The LeakChecker: quantitative air leakage assessment in laparoscopic intestinal anastomosis training

The LeakChecker can quantify anastomotic leakage during training as it objectively distinguishes between novices and experts. Implementing this kind of smart training task in a training program with objective skill assessment would inform participants of both their instrument handing skills and the quality of their execution.

Abstract

The LeakChecker can quantify anastomotic leakage during training as it objectively distinguishes between novices and experts. Implementing this kind of smart training task in a training program with objective skill assessment would inform participants of both their instrument handing skills and the quality of their execution.
