Treatment and study plan

Robotic surgery

Procedure

Surgeons will perform and participants will undergo robotic surgery according to the standard of care. No additional interventions will be performed on participating participants.

Primary outcomes

Correlation of Automated Performance Metrics to surgeon experience

Time frame: Up to 2 years

For the primary objective, we will capture Automated Performance Metrics/APMs and will determine the association between these and other metrics and surgeon experience, which will be used to construct validation.

APMs that will be used in the study:

Time Metrics

Camera Metrics

Instrument Metrics

System Metrics

Articulation Metrics
