AI Article Synopsis
- Surgery-related errors significantly impact patient care, with effective prevention potentially reducing hospital readmissions by up to 41,846 and saving over $620 million annually.
- Advances in technology and a focus on patient safety are prompting a reevaluation of traditional surgical training methods, highlighting that poor technical skills can lead to severe postoperative risks.
- The review highlights current techniques for assessing surgeons' technical skills in cataract surgery, along with new technologies that allow for automated and objective evaluation of complex surgical performance data.
Article Abstract
Surgery is a major source of errors in patient care. Preventing complications from surgical errors in the operating room is estimated to lead to reduction of up to 41 846 readmissions and save $620.3 million per year. It is now established that poor technical skill is associated with an increased risk of severe adverse events postoperatively and traditional models to train surgeons are being challenged by rapid advances in technology, an intensified patient-safety culture, and a need for value-driven health systems. This review discusses the current methods available for evaluating technical skills in cataract surgery and the recent technological advancements that have enabled capture and analysis of large amounts of complex surgical data for more automated objective skills assessment.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance and evolution of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT; OpenAI) as a resource for shoulder and elbow surgery information by assessing its accuracy on the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shoulder-elbow self-assessment questions. We hypothesized that both ChatGPT models would demonstrate proficiency and that there would be significant improvement with progressive iterations.
Materials And Methods: A total of 200 questions were selected from the 2019 and 2021 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons shoulder-elbow self-assessment questions.

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 5-10%. Current therapeutic options are limited, due in part to drug exclusion by the blood-brain barrier, restricting access of targeted drugs to the tumor. The receptor for the type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1R) was identified as a therapeutic target in glioblastoma.
