BackgroundAssessing performance automatically in a virtual reality trainer or from recorded videos is advantageous but needs validated objective metrics. The purpose of this study is to obtain expert consensus and validate task-specific metrics developed for assessing performance in double-layered end-to-end anastomosis.Materials and methodsSubjects were recruited into expert (PGY 4–5, colorectal surgery residents, and attendings) and novice (PGY 1–3) groups. Weighted average scores of experts for each metric item, completion time, and the total scores computed using global and task-specific metrics were computed for assessment.ResultsA total of 43 expert surgeons rated our task-specific metric items with weighted averages ranging from 3.33 to 4.5 on a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 20 subjects (10 novices and 10 experts) participated in validation study. The novice group completed the task significantly more slowly than the experienced group (37.67 ± 7.09 vs 25.47 ± 7.82 min,p= 0.001). In addition, both the global rating scale (23.47 ± 4.28 vs 28.3 ± 3.85,p= 0.016) and the task-specific metrics showed a significant difference in performance between the two groups (38.77 ± 2.83 vs 42.58 ± 4.56p= 0.027) following partial least-squares (PLS) regression. Furthermore, PLS regression showed that only two metric items (Stay suture tension and Tool handling) could reliably differentiate the performance between the groups (20.41 ± 2.42 vs 24.28 ± 4.09 vs,p= 0.037).ConclusionsOur study shows that our task-specific metrics have significant discriminant validity and can be used to evaluate the technical skills for this procedure.
