Deep learning for surgical phase recognition using endoscopic videos

perating room planning is a complex task as pre-operative estimations of procedure duration have a limited accuracy. This is due to large variations in the course of procedures. Therefore, information about the progress of procedures is essential to adapt the daily operating room schedule accordingly. This information should ideally be...

The applicability of deep learning to detect the progress of laparoscopic surgery using video recordings

The operating room is one of the most complex and expensive environments in the hospital. Research has been focusing on improving the efficient use of the OR time, for instance by using intraoperative data to update the planning of the OR during the day. This thesis used a deep learning network to automatically recognize surgical tools and pre...
