Abstract

BACKGROUND: The precise recognition of liver vessels during liver parenchymal dissection is the crucial technique for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This retrospective feasibility study aimed to develop artificial intelligence (AI) models to recognize liver vessels in LLR, and to evaluate their accuracy and real-time performance.
