Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care has led to a surge of interest in surgical process modeling (SPM). The objective of this study is to investigate the role of deep learning in recognizing surgical workflows and extracting reliable patterns from datasets used in minimally invasive surgery, thereby advancing the development of context-aware intelligent systems in endoscopic surgeries.
