OperA: Attention-Regularized Transformers for Surgical Phase Recognition [PDF]
In this paper we introduce OperA, a transformer-based model that accurately predicts surgical phases from long video sequences. A novel attention regularization loss encourages the model to focus on high-quality frames during training. Moreover, the attention weights are utilized to identify characteristic high attention frames for each surgical phase,

Preserving Privacy in Surgical Video Analysis Using Artificial Intelligence: A Deep Learning Classifier to Identify Out-of-Body Scenes in Endoscopic Videos [PDF]
Objective: To develop and validate a deep learning model for the identification of out-of-body images in endoscopic videos. Background: Surgical video analysis facilitates education and research. However, video recordings of endoscopic surgeries can contain privacy-sensitive information, especially if out-of-body scenes are recorded.

Automated Assessment of Critical View of Safety in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy [PDF]
Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is one of the most common procedures in the US, with more than 1.2M procedures annually. Compared with classical open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with significantly shorter recovery period, and hence is the preferred method.

One-shot skill assessment in high-stakes domains with limited data via meta learning [PDF]
Deep Learning (DL) has achieved robust competency assessment in various high-stakes fields. However, the applicability of DL models is often hampered by their substantial data requirements and confinement to specific training domains. This prevents them from transitioning to new tasks where data is scarce.

Management of major bile duct injuries following laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy - single center experience [PDF]
Introduction/Objective. Bile duct injuries represent a devastating and potentially life-threatening consequence of cholecystectomy. Although most cholecystectomies are currently performed laparoscopically, some complex cases require an open approach. The
