Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of surgical skill assessment, and is related to, but not limited to, a method and system for quantifying the ability to complete specified minimally invasive surgical actions. Background Art

[0002] During surgical skills training, surgical skill method assessment is integrated throughout the training process. It is a crucial method for measuring medical students' skill learning ability and physicians' professional proficiency, and is crucial for developing appropriate skill training programs for both students and physicians. Limited by the challenges of reduced operating times, shorter resident work schedules, and ethical and legal issues, surgical skill assessment methods based on surgical instrument motion primarily utilize kinematic metrics to assess a trainee's ability to complete a specific action within a specified time and under specified conditions.

[0003] However, when trainees attempt to improve the accuracy of a given surgical action through repetitive training over a period of time, uncertainties such as fatigue can have both positive and negative effects on the learning process, making it difficult to definitively determine. For example, the "working volume" metric, which represents the space occupied by the wrist to complete a movement, can lead to movement distortions with increased working volume and longer training sessions. Alternatively, training sessions can lead to movement rigidity with decreased working volume and shorter working sessions. Clearly, even though working volume and other metrics have been used to assess skill characteristics within a single surgical session in simulation training, periodontal probing, surgical skill assessment, open surgery suturing simulation systems, non-field physical examinations, laparoscopic ventral hernia repair simulations, laparoscopic skill assessments, intestinal repair and laparoscopic ventral hernia (LVH) repair, and rapid trauma ultrasound, they are still insufficient for assessing trainees' ability to repeat minimally invasive surgical actions during surgical skill training.

[0004] Therefore, if a composite indicator based on action space volume and reliability is used, and the reliability of trainees completing specified actions under a specified space volume is used to repair the shortcomings of traditional indicators in surgical skill evaluation, that is, to evaluate the trainees' ability to repeatedly complete specified surgical actions in a continuous time and a limited space under a specified similarity during surgical training, then when the number of training times is large and there are approximate specified space volumes and reliabilities, how to effectively select a reasonable quantitative indicator from such a large number of composite indicators becomes a practical problem in evaluating the trainees' ability to repeatedly complete specified minimally invasive surgical actions in a continuous time and a specified space during surgical training.

[0044] It should be pointed out that the terms "first\second\third" involved in the embodiments of the present application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described here.

[0045] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art in the art to which the embodiments of the present application belong. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in common dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as herein. Example 1

[0046] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for quantifying the ability to complete a specified minimally invasive surgical action is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0047] Step S1: specify the standard path and M The training paths are converted into a standard path point set and a training path point set in three-dimensional space respectively; for each training path, the distances between all path points in each training path and the corresponding path points in the standard path are calculated, and they are sorted from large to small to obtain a second distance set.

[0048] Here, the standard path for a specific action refers to the standardized operating procedures and trajectory standards for a specific surgical action (such as tissue separation, suturing, and hemostasis), established by industry consensus, clinical guidelines, or authoritative organizations. The training path for a specific action is a phased, systematic training process designed to help surgeons master the standard action path. This path follows the principles of skill learning (from cognitive stage to connection stage to automation stage) and gradually improves operational accuracy and proficiency through simulation training, step-by-step practice, and feedback optimization.

[0049] Convert the standard path corresponding to the specified action into a standard path point set in three-dimensional space, assuming N Waypoints, Indicates that the specified action corresponds to training paths, and transform them into a set of training path points in three-dimensional space. Indicates that Indicates the m training paths, .

[0050] For example, for the m The distances between all path points in each training path and the corresponding path points in the standard path are calculated using the following formula:

[0051] ;

[0052] in, For them The first training path n Waypoints With the standard path n Waypoints The distance value; For the m The first training path n waypoints; The first n waypoints; is the Euclidean norm.

[0053] Collect the distance values ​​between all training path points and the corresponding path points in the standard path to obtain the first distance set D : .

[0054] The first distance set D Sort the distance values ​​in from large to small to get the second distance set : ;in, is the maximum distance value, is the minimum distance value.

[0055] Step S2: For each distance value in the second distance set, calculate the volume of a cylinder with the standard path as the central axis as the action space volume; wherein the height of the cylinder is the geometric length of the standard path.

[0056] Here, the height of the cylinder is the geometric length of the standard path, which is known by default. The volume of the cylinder corresponding to each distance value is calculated using the cylinder volume calculation formula.

[0057] The action space volume represents the gap between the training actions and standard actions of medical staff in continuous time.

[0058] Step S3, sequentially traverse the distance values ​​in the second distance set, and based on each distance value The corresponding cylindrical range checks the reliability of multiple training paths and obtains the distance value The corresponding number of reliable paths , and calculate the distance value based on the total number of training paths The corresponding reliability.

[0059] Here, initialize a counter to record the current distance value The number of paths that are considered reliable is traversed. Each training path in the plurality of training paths is checked for each training path to see whether it satisfies the distance value. A condition is determined to be within the cylinder. This typically involves checking whether one or more points in the training path are within the cylinder. If the training path satisfies the condition (i.e., at least one point is within the cylinder), a counter representing the number of reliable paths is incremented by 1.

[0060] Here, as Figure 3 As shown, for a specific distance value The calculated cylindrical range is used as the corresponding action space. The training paths outside the action space are considered unreliable. The total number of training paths within the action space is the number of reliable paths. .

[0061] Reliability represents the ability of medical staff to complete specified minimally invasive surgical actions under the gap between their training actions and standard actions over a continuous period of time.

[0062] Step S4: Based on the reliability and the corresponding action space volume corresponding to each distance value, the reliability degradation acceleration corresponding to each distance value is obtained by using the constructed reliability degradation acceleration calculation formula.

[0063] Here, reliability degradation acceleration is a quantitative indicator that quantifies the degradation acceleration of the ability of medical personnel to repeatedly complete specified actions in a continuous time and limited space. Its full name is reliability degradation acceleration, abbreviated as RDA .

[0064] Step S5 : Based on the reliability degradation acceleration corresponding to each distance value, the reliability degradation distance corresponding to each distance value is obtained by using the constructed reliability degradation distance calculation formula.

[0065] Here, reliability degradation distance is a quantitative indicator that quantifies the degradation distance of medical personnel's ability to repeatedly complete a specified action in a continuous time and a limited space. Its full name is reliability degradation displacement, abbreviated as RDD .

[0066] Step S6: completing the quantification of the specified minimally invasive surgical action capability based on the reliability degradation distance corresponding to each distance value.

[0067] This step helps assessors select a reliability volume to quantify the medical personnel's ability to repeat a specific minimally invasive surgical action during training. The reliability volume is used to quantify the medical personnel's ability to repeat a specific minimally invasive surgical action within a continuous time and limited space.

[0074] In some embodiments, the quantification of the ability to complete a specified minimally invasive surgical action based on the reliability degradation distance corresponding to each distance value includes:

[0075] Compare the reliability degradation distances corresponding to all distance values ​​in the second distance set and select the smallest reliability degradation distance. , and get the corresponding distance value d k , select the distance value d k Corresponding reliability volume As a quantitative indicator.

[0076] Here, the reliability volume is used to quantify the ability of medical personnel to repeatedly complete specified minimally invasive surgical actions within a continuous time and limited space.

[0077] In some embodiments, the volume of the cylinder is calculated by the following formula:

[0078] ;

[0079] in, is the first in the second distance set j distance values; h is the geometric length of the standard path; is the first distance in the second distance set j The volume of the cylinder corresponding to the distance value.

[0080] Here, for each distance value in the second distance set , the calculation takes the standard path as the central axis, The volume of a cylinder with a radius of Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the cylindrical range corresponding to the maximum distance value is the initial action space. The action space after the second or more iterations gradually shrinks until the minimum distance value is traversed. The cylindrical range with the smallest radius is calculated as the final action space.

[0081] In some embodiments, the reliability corresponding to the distance value is calculated using the following formula:

[0082] ;

[0083] ;

[0084] in, is the first distance in the second distance set j The reliability of the distance value; is the first distance in the second distance set j The number of reliable paths corresponding to the distance value; M is the total number of training paths; To satisfy The number of training paths; For the m The first training path n Waypoints With the standard path n Waypoints The distance value; is the first in the second distance set j distance values.

[0085] Here, as Figure 3 As shown, for a specific distance value The calculated cylindrical range is used as the corresponding action space. The training paths outside the action space are considered unreliable. The total number of training paths within the action space is the number of reliable paths. .

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, a new indicator, reliability degradation acceleration, is proposed to quantify the ability of medical personnel to repeatedly complete specified minimally invasive surgical actions within a limited space within a continuous time. This indicator shows obvious feasibility in evaluating the ability to train actions within a small space within a continuous time, especially in minimally invasive surgical action training that is mainly based on subjective evaluation. How to provide a more reasonable evaluation training accuracy. This method provides guidance for the reasonable quantification of the ability to repeatedly complete specified actions within a continuous time and in a surgical training environment by proposing a reliability degradation acceleration for completing specified minimally invasive surgical actions.
