Abstract

BACKGROUND: The creation of operative reports is a tedious documentation task that increases administrative burden, which is a potential driver of burnout. Additionally, operative reports are inherently subjective and may contain inaccuracies and incomplete information. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have enabled computer vision systems to accurately detect operative steps on surgical video. We aim to develop a platform for the automated creation of video-based AI surgical operative reports in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.
