Brief Summary

The goal of this comparative blinded assessment study is to compare ratings of crowd workers and expert ratings in simulated robot-assisted radical prostatectomies The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

• to examine the use of crowdsourced assessment for assessing the performance of robot-assisted rad-ical prostatectomy (RARP) compared with using experienced surgeons
• to explore if some CW are better than others. Participants will assess edited videos of simulated robot assisted radical prostatecotmies using a standardized assessment tool. The laypersons will be asked to answer yes/no to the question: 'Would you trust this doctor to perform robot-assisted surgery on you?' after each surgery. All participants were blinded to the identity of the surgeon performing the videos of the robot-assisted radical prostatectomy Researchers will compare laypersons with expert raters to see if any difference between their ratings

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• to examine the use of crowdsourced assessment for assessing the performance of robot-assisted rad-ical prostatectomy (RARP) compared with using experienced surgeons

  To what degree do the GEARS scores correlate with experienced surgeons? A rating of 1 corresponds to the lowest level of performance, whereas a rating of 5 corresponds to the highest level of performance. An overall performance score is derived by summing the scores of each of the domains (5-25 points)by patients.
