Surgical workflow anticipation is an essential task for computer-assisted intervention (CAI) systems. It aims at predicting the future surgical phase and instrument occurrence, providing support for intra-operative decision-support system. Recent stu...
BACKGROUND: There have been few reports on the feasibility and safety of robotic multivisceral surgeries. The da Vinci Xi boasts significant upgrades that improve its applicability in combined resections. We report our early experience of multiviscer...
Laparoscopic procedures have become indispensable in gastrointestinal surgery. As a minimally invasive process, it begins with primary trocar insertion. However, this step poses the threat of injuries to the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels. ...
Automatic surgical instrument segmentation of endoscopic images is a crucial building block of many computer-assistance applications for minimally invasive surgery. So far, state-of-the-art approaches completely rely on the availability of a ground-t...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential for artificial intelligence-based video analysis to determine surgical instrument characteristics when moving in the three-dimensional vitreous space.
