Abstract

BACKGROUND: Surgical process modeling automatically identifies surgical phases, and further improvement in recognition accuracy is expected with deep learning. Surgical tool or time series information has been used to improve the recognition accuracy of a model. However, it is difficult to collect this information continuously intraoperatively. The present study aimed to develop a deep convolution neural network (CNN) model that correctly identifies the surgical phase during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
