Zusammenfassung:Background ESD is an endoscopic technique for en bloc resection of gastrointestinal lesions. ESD is a widely-used in Japan and throughout Asia, but not as prevalent in Europe or the US. The procedure is technically challenging and has higher adverse events (bleeding, perforation) compared to endoscopic mucosal resection. Inadequate training platforms and lack of established training curricula have restricted its wide acceptance in the US. Thus, we aim to develop a Virtual Endoluminal Surgery Simulator (VESS) for objective ESD training and assessment. In this work, we performed task and performance analysis of ESD surgeries. Methods We performed a detailed colorectal ESD task analysis and identified the critical ESD steps for lesion identification, marking, injection, circumferential cutting, dissection, intraprocedural complication management, and post-procedure examination. We constructed a hierarchical task tree that elaborates the order of tasks in these steps. Furthermore, we developed quantitative ESD performance metrics. We measured task times and scores of 16 ESD surgeries performed by four different endoscopic surgeons. Results The average time of the marking, injection, and circumferential cutting phases are 203.4 ( σ : 205.46), 83.5 ( σ : 49.92), 908.4 s. ( σ : 584.53), respectively. Cutting the submucosal layer takes most of the time of overall ESD procedure time with an average of 1394.7 s ( σ : 908.43). We also performed correlation analysis (Pearson’s test) among the performance scores of the tasks. There is a moderate positive correlation ( R  = 0.528, p  = 0.0355) between marking scores and total scores, a strong positive correlation ( R  = 0.7879, p  = 0.0003) between circumferential cutting and submucosal dissection and total scores. Similarly, we noted a strong positive correlation ( R  = 0.7095, p  = 0.0021) between circumferential cutting and submucosal dissection and marking scores. Conclusions We elaborated ESD tasks and developed quantitative performance metrics used in analysis of actual surgery performance. These ESD metrics will be used in future validation studies of our VESS simulator. Graphical abstract
