Abstract
A surgical skill assessment system was developed to quantify microsurgical skills. Infrared optical makers, an inertial measurement unit, and strain gauges were mounted on tweezers to record surgical tasks. In preliminary experiments, the tool tip trajectory, acceleration, and applied force were measured and microsurgery videos were evaluated by three expert surgeons. The preliminary results indicated the feasibility of the system by showing the significant difference between unskilled and skilled surgeons.Keywords
