The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a 5-year, $1,192,358 Project Grant (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to assess, optimize, and deliver surgical feedback using artificial intelligence (AI) for benign urological robotic surgeries. The project aims to: 1) assess the current surgical feedback exchange between trainers and trainees during 500 urological surgery cases, 2) optimize human-delivered surgical feedback through statistical analysis and randomized trials, and 3) develop an AI system to automatically identify the need for and deliver video-based feedback to novice surgeons in the training lab. As a sub-award, the University of California, San Diego will enroll surgeons and patients, record audio/video of training sessions, and provide the data to the primary team at Cedars-Sinai for analysis. The overarching goal is to shorten surgical learning curves and improve patient outcomes through consistent and effective feedback, leveraging both human expertise and AI-powered automation.
