• Abstract: Endoscopic surgery is currently an important treatment method in the field of spinal surgery and avoiding damage to the spinal nerves through video guidance is a key challenge. This paper presents the first real-time segmentation method for spinal nerves in endoscopic surgery, which provides crucial navigational information for surgeons. A finely annotated segmentation dataset of approximately 10,000 consec-utive frames recorded during surgery is constructed for the first time for this field, addressing the problem of semantic segmentation. Based on this dataset, we propose FUnet (Frame-Unet), which achieves state-of-the-art performance by utilizing inter-frame information and self-attention mechanisms. We also conduct extended exper-iments on a similar polyp endoscopy video dataset and show that the model has good generalization ability with advantageous performance. The dataset and code of this work are presented at: https://github.com/zzzzzzpc/FUnet .

  Liver registration by overlaying preoperative 3D models onto intraoperative 2D frames can assist surgeons in perceiving the spatial anatomy of the liver clearly for a higher surgical success rate. Existing registration methods rely heavily on anatomical landmark-based, which encounter two major limitations. We propose a landmark-free preoperative-to-intraoperative registration framework utilizing effective self-supervised learning.

  Video object segmentation is an emerging technology that is well-suited for real-time surgical video segmentation. However, its adoption is limited by the need for manual intervention to select the tracked object. In this work, we tackle this challenge with an innovative solution: using previously annotated frames from other patients as the tracking frames. We find that this unconventional approach can match or even surpass the performance of using patients' own tracking frames.
