Introduction The most common way of assessing surgical performance is by expert raters to view a surgical task and rate a trainee's performance. However, there is huge potential for automated skill assessment and workflow analysis using modern technology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate machine learning (ML) algorithms using the data of a Myo armband as a sensor device for skills level assessment and phase detection in laparoscopic training. Materials and methods Participants of three experience levels in laparoscopy performed a suturing and knot tying task on silicon models. Experts rated performance using Objective Structured Assessment of Surgical Skills (OSATS). Participants wore Myo armbands (Thalmic Labs (TM), Ontario, Canada) to record acceleration, angular velocity, orientation, and Euler orientation. ML algorithms (decision forest, neural networks, boosted decision tree) were compared for skill level assessment and phase detection. Results 28 participants (8 beginner, 10 intermediate, 10 expert) were included, and 99 knots were available for analysis. A neural network regression model had the lowest mean absolute error in predicting OSATS score (3.7 +/- 0.6 points, r(2) = 0.03 +/- 0.81; OSATS min.-max.: 4-37 points). An ensemble of binary-class neural networks yielded the highest accuracy in predicting skill level (beginners: 82.2% correctly identified, intermediate: 3.0%, experts: 79.5%) whereas standard statistical analysis failed to discriminate between skill levels. Phase detection on raw data showed the best results with a multi-class decision jungle (average 16% correctly identified), but improved to 43% average accuracy with two-class boosted decision trees after Dynamic time warping (DTW) application. Conclusion Modern machine learning algorithms aid in interpreting complex surgical motion data, even when standard analysis fails. Dynamic time warping offers the potential to process and compare surgical motion data in order to allow automated surgical workflow detection. However, further research is needed to interpret and standardize available data and improve sensor accuracy.
