Description

Rebecca Hisey and nine co-authors wrote this 2024 study on grading surgical skill from video in a low-resource setting. The skill is placing a drain into a blocked kidney through the skin, a step that can save the kidney and buy time for full care. In much of Africa, dialysis and transplants are scarce, so this drain can save a life. Training on simulators still needs an expert eye to grade the trainee.

At a military hospital in Dakar, Senegal, six trainees and six expert urologists each did four practice cases. A trained vision network tracked the tools, and motion scores were drawn from its tracks. The scores split trainees from experts on both ultrasound and needle handling, and tracked growth inside each group. The authors call video grading a workable, low-cost feedback route.
