Abstract
BACKGROUND: Although a number of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) procedures have been performed due to three-dimensional field of view, image stabilization, and flexible joint function, both the surgeons and surgical teams require proficiency. This study aimed to establish an artificial intelligence (AI)-based automated surgical-phase recognition system for RAMIE by analyzing robotic surgical videos.
