Robots have been introduced in the surgical routine to improve intervention safety and accuracy. Several attempts have been made in the literature to analyze the gesture of the surgeon to provide a quantitative measure of its efficacy and effectiveness. The study describes the research design to characterize robotic brain surgery in comparison to free-hand surgery during a simulated surgery on a 3D printed phantom. The idea is to use outcome measures both targeting result and user actions (such as fluidity, lack of uncertainties, number of attempts) to monitor the training process of robotic surgery in comparison to free-hand surgery in surgeons not acquainted with the robot. Preliminary results are presented on movement fluidity, showing that robotic brain surgery provides smoother trajectories than free-hand brain surgery.

Abstract
Robots have been introduced in the surgical routine to improve intervention safety and accuracy. Several attempts have been made in the literature to analyze the gesture of the surgeon to provide a quantitative measure of its efficacy and effectiveness. The study describes the research design to characterize robotic brain surgery in comparison to free-hand surgery during a simulated surgery on a 3D printed phantom. The idea is to use outcome measures both targeting result and user actions (such as fluidity, lack of uncertainties, number of attempts) to monitor the training process of robotic surgery in comparison to free-hand surgery in surgeons not acquainted with the robot. Preliminary results are presented on movement fluidity, showing that robotic brain surgery provides smoother trajectories than free-hand brain surgery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
