Abstract

BACKGROUND: To perform accurate laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) without injury, novel intraoperative systems of computer-assisted surgery (CAS) for LH are expected. Automated surgical workflow identification is a key component for developing CAS systems. This study aimed to develop a deep-learning model for automated surgical step identification in LH.
