description ObjectiveTo objectively evaluate technical skill acquisition in hypospadias repair procedures during surgical training using noninvasive wearable sensor technology. MethodsWe combined subjective video evaluations with objective electromyography (EMG) measurements in a hands-on hypospadias training course. Surgeons wore wireless EMG and accelerometer sensors on their dominant hand while performing tasks on ex-vivo cadaveric calf penises. The study focused on 4 skills as follows: urethral mobilization, dorsal inlay graft harvest/implantation, meatal-based flap urethroplasty, and dorsal plication. Machine learning techniques analyzed muscle activation patterns and attributes for assessing surgical precision. ResultsThe course included 18 participants (10 female, 8 males; average age 40.18 ± 8.46 years) categorized as novice (n = 10, <3 years’ experience), intermediate (n = 5, 3-5 years), and expert (n = 3, >5 years). Video evaluations did not reveal significant differences due to short-term training. However, EMG measurements showed significant reductions in average EMG power, total time, dominant frequency, and cumulative muscle workload after training. Additionally, the mean power spectral density of the EMG signal decreased notably post-training. ConclusionThis study presents a structured approach for hypospadias training and highlights the effectiveness of wearable sensor technology for objective skill assessment. While video evaluations did not detect significant changes, EMG data provided measurable differences in skill acquisition, suggesting that wearable sensors could enhance objective evaluations of surgical proficiency in residency programs.
