Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hemorrhage during laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is a risk factor for negative postoperative outcomes. Ensuring appropriate hemostasis enhances the safety of surgical procedures. An automatic bleeding recognition system based on deep learning can lead to safer surgeries; however, deep learning models that are useful for detecting and stopping bleeding in LH have not yet been reported. In this study, we aimed to develop a deep learning model to automatically recognize bleeding regions during liver transection in LH.
