Eye gaze metrics for skill assessment and feedback in kidney stone surgery

ConclusionWe show that a non-negligible difference holds between novice and expert surgeons ’ gaze metrics in kidney stone identification in phantoms. Expert surgeons demonstrate more targeted gaze throughout a trial, indicating their higher level of proficiency. To improve the skill acquisition process for novice surgeons, we suggest providing sub-task specific feedback. This approach p resents an objective and non-invasive method to assess surgical competence.
