Abstract

Purpose

Automatic surgical workflow recognition enabled by computer vision algorithms plays a key role in enhancing the learning experience of surgeons. It also supports building context-aware systems that allow better surgical planning and decision making which may in turn improve outcomes. Utilizing temporal information is crucial for recognizing context; hence, various recent approaches use recurrent neural networks or transformers to recognize actions.

Methods

We design and implement a two-stage method for surgical workflow recognition. We utilize R(2+1)D for video clip modeling in the first stage. We propose Action Segmentation Temporal Convolutional Transformer (ASTCFormer) network for full video modeling in the second stage. ASTCFormer utilizes action segmentation transformers (ASFormers) and temporal convolutional networks (TCNs) to build a temporally aware surgical workflow recognition system.

Results

We compare the proposed ASTCFormer with recurrent neural networks, multi-stage TCN, and ASFormer approaches. The comparison is done on a dataset comprised of 207 robotic and laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgical videos annotated for 7 surgical phases. The proposed method outperforms the compared methods achieving a \(2.7\%\) relative improvement in the average segmental F1-score over the state-of-the-art ASFormer method. Moreover, our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results on the publicly available Cholec80 dataset.

Conclusion

The improvement in the results when using the proposed method suggests that temporal context could be better captured when adding information from TCN to the ASFormer paradigm. This addition leads to better surgical workflow recognition.
