Abstract

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the UK. Despite its safety, the volume of operations leads to a notable number of complications, with surgical errors often mitigated by the critical view of safety (CVS) technique. However, reliably achieving CVS intraoperatively can be challenging. Current state-of-the-art models for automated CVS evaluation rely on complex, multistage training and semantic segmentation masks, restricting their adaptability and limiting further performance improvements.
