  • Identifying variation in surgical approaches
    Patent number: 12620223
    Abstract: An aspect includes a computer-implemented method that identifies variations in surgical approaches to medical procedures. Surgical videos documenting multiple cases of a medical procedure are analyzed to identify different surgical approaches used by service providers when performing the medical procedure. According to some aspects surgical phases are identified in each surgical video and groups of similar surgical phase sequences are grouped into surgical approaches.

  • PROVISION OF SURGICAL GUIDANCE BASED ON AUDIOVISUAL DATA AND INSTRUMENT DATA
    Publication number: 20250143807
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a memory device and one or more processors coupled with the memory device. The one or more processors are configured to determine, autonomously, one or more phases in a surgical procedure based on a video stream of the surgical procedure. The one or more processors are further configured to identify one or more usages of a surgical instrument used during the surgical procedure. The one or more processors are configured to display a chart of the one or more usages. The chart divides the one or more usages according to the one or more phases respectively, and a representation of each of the one or more usages indicates a duration of each usage.
