Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills (GEARS)
The GEARS instrument provides a global assessment of robotic surgical skill. Robotic prostatectomists used this tool to evaluate the videos submitted by MUSIC urologists in several domains of technical skill. More information related to GEARS and this work can be found in the following publication: MUSIC Surgical Assessment Paper.
