Objective assessment of robotic suturing skills with a new computerized system: A step forward in the training of robotic surgeons

Introduction The purpose of this study was to assess robot‐assisted suturing skills on a laparoscopic intestinal anastomosis model by using a novel computerized objective assessment system. Methods This study compared the suturing skills of 13 surgically naïve participants on an artificial intestinal anastomosis model that mimics real tissue. Each examinee sutured using da Vinci robot assistance under 2‐D and 3‐D visualization and with...
