Evaluating the evaluators: does C-SATS measure up?
Laverty RB, Chesnut CH, Karam JR, et al.· Surg Endosc· 2025Observational
Robotic-assisted surgery has increased in prevalence, particularly in general surgery. The number of cases required to achieve adequate proficiency in robotic surgery, however, and the training metrics that correlate best with proficiency remain unclear. We sought to better define proficiency-based benchmarks in robotic-assisted cholecystectomies (RAC) and inguinal hernia repairs (RIHR) using a commercial crowd source based on competency platform. Multi-institutional cohort study in which 48 surgeons (senior residents, fellows, and practicing physicians) submitted representative videos of the…
Barriers to the adoption of routine surgical video recording: a mixed-methods qualitative study of a real-world implementation of a video recording platform.
Lam K, Simister C, Yiu A, et al.· Surg Endosc· 2024
Routine surgical video recording has multiple benefits. Video acts as an objective record of the operative record, allows video-based coaching and is integral to the development of digital technologies. Despite these benefits, adoption is not widespread. To date, only questionnaire studies have explored this failure in adoption. This study aims to determine the barriers and provide recommendations for the implementation of routine surgical video recording. A pre- and post-pilot questionnaire surrounding a real-world implementation of a C-SATS, an educational recording and surgical analytics p…
Cloud Based AI-Driven Video Analytics (CAVs) in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Step Closer to a Virtual Portfolio.
Gendia A· Cureus· 2022
To outline the use of cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI)-driven video analytics (CAVs) in minimally invasive surgery and to propose their potential as a virtual portfolio for trainee and established surgeons.  Methods: An independent online demonstration was requested from three platforms, namely Theator (Palo Alto, California, USA), Touch Surgery™ (Medtronic, London, England, UK), and C-SATS® (Seattle, Washington, USA). The assessed domains were online and app-based accessibility, the ability for timely trainee feedback, and AI integration for operation-specific steps…
