Jeff Yang, Thoracic Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Department of Surgery and Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, shared a post on X:

“Outstanding talk by MGH resident James Nawalaniec on objective performance indicators (OPI) for robotic thoracic surgery. This is the first study to use OPIs in lobectomy to compare surgical movement by level of experience.

Later, he shared this post, adding a paper by James Nawalaniec et al. published in JTCVS Open:

Massachusetts General Hospital’s Department of Surgery’s James Nawalaniec followed up his outstanding presentation at AATS with this publication in JTCVS Open on Objective performance indicators in robotic lobectomy training.”

Title: Objective performance indicators provide a novel, quantitative method to evaluate surgeon proficiency in robotic lobectomy training

Authors: James Nawalaniec, Mallory Shields, Hugh Auchincloss, Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, Lana Schumacher
