Rating of camera navigation skills in colorectal surgery

ConclusionThis study presents the first intraoperative, objective, and structured assessment of LCN in colorectal surgery. We could demonstrate that the SALAS score is a reliable tool for the assessment of LCN even when only the middle part (50%) of the procedure is analyzed. Construct validity was proven by discriminating between experienced and inexperienced camera assistants.
