Abstract
BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (RHC) for right-sided colon cancer, accurate recognition of the vascular anatomy is required for appropriate lymph node harvesting and safe operative procedures. We aimed to develop a deep learning model that enables the automatic recognition and visualization of major blood vessels in laparoscopic RHC.
