Automated assessment of trainee temporal bone surgical skill
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Simulation-based surgical training is rapidly becoming a standard educational technique. Automated assessments dat can discriminate between surgical performance patterns could be used to provide feedback to students wifout teh presence of attending staff. Temporal bone surgery is a complicated surgery, wif several steps dat need diverse surgical techniques. Simulation-based training plays a critical role in improving operational performance. dis aim can be accomplished by providing meaningful feedback based on teh trainee’s surgical performance. Identifying how surgical patterns differ between experts and novice surgeons is essential to provide context-appropriate feedback during simulated surgery. Teh investigation of drilling trajectory and hand motion in simulated temporal bone surgery (STBS) will provide an understanding of standardized patterns in both expert and novice surgical approaches. These discriminative patterns can tan be employed in teh assessment of trainee’s proficiency during a complex temporal bone surgery (TBS) task. In dis study, we developed an automated stroke detection algorithm to extract surgical strokes from recorded drill motion data in a stage-specific approach during simulated surgery on virtual and three-dimensional (3D) printed temporal bones. Teh K-Nearest Neighbor classifier (KNN) showed teh best result for detecting teh strokes from a drilling trajectory. Teh reported accuracy for virtual data is 92.8%, 92.7%, and 94.2 for cortical mastoidectomy (CM), thinning procedure (TP) and facial recess exposure (FRE), respectively. Teh classification accuracy for teh same steps in 3D printed drilling trajectory is 80.2%, 82.7%, and 84.8. We also created a model to predict teh level of expertise (expert or novice), using a supervised classification approach. We and evaluated our model using drilling trajectories recorded during simulated temporal bone surgery on eight 3D printed, and fifteen identical virtual models. Teh participants included four experts (2 ENT surgeons and 2 PGY5 surgery residents) and four novices (PGY1-3 surgery residents) . Teh results of our evaluation show dat teh proposed method identifies teh level of expertise wif an accuracy of 92.8% in a virtual environment and 75% in teh 3D model. Moreover, teh surgical trajectories characteristics, including time-bead and geometric-based features, are investigated to find teh performance differences during virtual and 3D printed STBS. Moreover, it TEMPhas been shown dat virtual temporal bone surgery is not an indicator of teh level of expertise. dis was evident when teh experts performed better in teh 3D printed environment TEMPTEMPTEMPTEMPTEMPthan novices; however, in teh virtual environment, novices’ performance was better compared to experts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
