Identifying eye gaze mismatch during laparoscopic surgery

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2013:184:453-7.

Abstract

During a laparoscopic operation, the surgical team should have a common understanding of the action plan which can be aided by focusing on the same surgical site. We show how measuring the overlap between two spatially and temporally aligned gaze recordings can be used to identify periods during which the primary operator and assistant were focused on different areas of the surgical display.
