Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media related to statistical analysis across surgical videos are disclosed. The methods may include receiving video frames across multiple surgical videos, each surgical video comprising multiple surgical procedures performed by a specific medical professional across differing patients. A set of surgical event-related categories may be accessed and video frames of each surgical video may be analyzed to identify surgical events defined by a subgroup of frames. Each subgroup of frames may be assigned to one of the surgical event-related categories to thereby interrelate subgroups of frames from differing surgical procedures to a common surgical event-related category. Statistics may be derived for each surgical event-related category and then aggregated within each category and displayed with the surgical event-related categories for selection.
