• Abstract: Real-time tool segmentation is an essential component in computer-assisted surgical systems. We propose a novel real-time automatic method based on Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN) and optical flow tracking. Our method exploits the ability of deep neural networks to produce accurate segmentations of highly deformable parts along with the high speed of optical flow. Furthermore, the pre-trained FCN can be fine-tuned on a small amount of medical images without the need to hand-craft features. We validated our method using existing and new benchmark datasets, covering both ex vivo and in vivo real clinical cases where different surgical instruments are employed. Two versions of the method are presented, non-real-time and real-time. The former, using only deep learning, achieves a balanced accuracy of 89.6% on a real clinical dataset, outperforming the (non-real-time) state of the art by 3.8% points. The latter, a combination of deep learning with optical flow tracking, yields an average balanced accuracy of 78.2% across all the validated datasets.

  Improved surgical skill is generally associated with improved patient outcomes, but assessment is subjective and labour-intensive. A new public dataset is introduced, focusing on simulated surgery, using the nasal phase of endoscopic pituitary surgery as an exemplar. A Multilayer Perceptron achieved 87% accuracy in predicting surgical skill level (novice or expert), with the "ratio of total procedure time to instrument visible time" correlated with higher surgical skill.

  Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) methods have begun to gain traction in the general computer vision community. The effectiveness of SSL methods in more complex and impactful domains, such as medicine and surgery, remains limited and unexplored. We present an extensive analysis of the performance of these methods on the Cholec80 dataset for two fundamental and popular tasks in surgical context understanding, phase recognition and tool presence detection.

  We propose a shape-aware relation network for accurate and real-time landmark detection in endoscopic submucosal dissection surgery. We first devise an algorithm to automatically generate relation keypoint heatmaps, which intuitively represent the prior knowledge of spatial relations among landmarks. We then develop two complementary regularization schemes to progressively incorporate the prior knowledge into the training process.
