Early Operative Difficulty Assessment in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy via Snapshot-Centric Video Analysis [PDF]

Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) operative difficulty (LCOD) is highly variable and influences outcomes. Despite extensive LC studies in surgical workflow analysis, limited efforts explore LCOD using intraoperative video data. Early recognition of LCOD could allow prompt review by expert surgeons, enhance operating room (OR) planning, and ...
