Deep learning model demonstrates high accuracy in surgical instrument recognition

A deep learning-based instance segmentation model was highly accurate in simultaneously recognizing eight types of surgical instruments in laparoscopic colorectal surgical videos, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.“Deep learning-based [computer vision] technology has been applied to various tasks in laparoscopic surgery, such as anatomical structures, surgical action, and step or phase recognition,” Daichi Kitaguchi, MD, of the surgical device innovation office and department of colorectal surgery at the National Cancer Center Hospital East in Kashiwa, Japan, andRead More
