Laypersons Cannot Select Preferred Surgeon Based on Videos of Simulated Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomies

In the researchers' words

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
