Abstract

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is a difficult procedure for early career surgeons. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgical step recognition is crucial for establishing context-aware computer-aided surgery systems. In this study, we aimed to develop an automatic recognition model for LDG using AI and evaluate its performance.
