Résumé

Currently, surgical education utilizes a combination of the apprentice model, wet-lab training, and simulation, but due to reliance on subjective data, the quality of teaching and assessment can be variable. The "language of surgery," an established concept in engineering literature whose incorporation into surgical education has been limited, is defined as the description of each surgical maneuver using quantifiable metrics. This concept is different from the traditional notion of surgical language, generally thought of as the qualitative definitions and terminology used by surgeons. A literature search was conducted through April 2023 using MEDLINE/PubMed using search terms to investigate wet-lab, virtual simulators, and robotics in ophthalmology, along with the language of surgery and surgical education. Articles published before 2005 were mostly excluded, although a few were included on a case-by-case basis. Surgical maneuvers can be quantified by leveraging technological advances in virtual simulators, video recordings, and surgical robots to create a language of surgery. By measuring and describing maneuver metrics, the learning surgeon can adjust surgical movements in an appropriately graded fashion that is based on objective and standardized data. The main contribution is outlining a structured education framework that details how surgical education could be improved by incorporating the language of surgery, using ophthalmology surgical education as an example. By describing each surgical maneuver in quantifiable, objective, and standardized terminology, a language of surgery can be created that can be used to learn, teach, and assess surgical technical skill with an approach that minimizes bias. The "language of surgery," defined as the quantification of each surgical movement's characteristics, is an established concept in the engineering literature.

Sections du résumé

Background UNASSIGNED
Currently, surgical education utilizes a combination of the apprentice model, wet-lab training, and simulation, but due to reliance on subjective data, the quality of teaching and assessment can be variable. The "language of surgery," an established concept in engineering literature whose incorporation into surgical education has been limited, is defined as the description of each surgical maneuver using quantifiable metrics. This concept is different from the traditional notion of surgical language, generally thought of as the qualitative definitions and terminology used by surgeons.
Methods UNASSIGNED
A literature search was conducted through April 2023 using MEDLINE/PubMed using search terms to investigate wet-lab, virtual simulators, and robotics in ophthalmology, along with the language of surgery and surgical education. Articles published before 2005 were mostly excluded, although a few were included on a case-by-case basis.
Results UNASSIGNED
Surgical maneuvers can be quantified by leveraging technological advances in virtual simulators, video recordings, and surgical robots to create a language of surgery. By measuring and describing maneuver metrics, the learning surgeon can adjust surgical movements in an appropriately graded fashion that is based on objective and standardized data. The main contribution is outlining a structured education framework that details how surgical education could be improved by incorporating the language of surgery, using ophthalmology surgical education as an example.
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
By describing each surgical maneuver in quantifiable, objective, and standardized terminology, a language of surgery can be created that can be used to learn, teach, and assess surgical technical skill with an approach that minimizes bias.
Key message UNASSIGNED
The "language of surgery," defined as the quantification of each surgical movement's characteristics, is an established concept in the engineering literature. Using ophthalmology surgical education as an example, we describe a structured education framework based on the language of surgery to improve surgical education.
Classifications UNASSIGNED
Surgical education, robotic surgery, ophthalmology, education standardization, computerized assessment, simulations in teaching.
Competencies UNASSIGNED
Practice-Based Learning and Improvement.
