Abstract
BACKGROUND: Video-based review is paramount for operative performance assessment but can be laborious when performed manually. Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) is a well-known method that divides any procedure into phases, steps, and tasks. HTA requires large datasets of videos with consistent definitions at each level. Our aim was to develop an AI model for automated segmentation of phases, steps, and tasks for laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos using a standardized HTA.
