• Abstract summary: Recent advancements in surgical computer vision have been driven by vision-only models, which lack language semantics. We propose leveraging surgical video lectures from e-learning platforms to provide effective vision and language supervisory signals. We address surgery-specific linguistic challenges using multiple automatic speech recognition systems for text transcriptions.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in surgical computer vision have been driven by vision-only models, which lack language semantics, relying on manually annotated videos to predict fixed object categories. This limits their generalizability to unseen surgical procedures and tasks. We propose leveraging surgical video lectures from e-learning platforms to provide effective vision and language supervisory signals for multi-modal representation learning, bypassing manual annotations. We address surgery-specific linguistic challenges using multiple automatic speech recognition systems for text transcriptions. We introduce SurgVLP - Surgical Vision Language Pre-training - a novel method for multi-modal representation learning. SurgVLP employs a new contrastive learning objective, aligning video clip embeddings with corresponding multiple text embeddings in a joint latent space. We demonstrate the representational capability of this space through several vision-and-language surgical tasks and vision-only tasks specific to surgery. Unlike current fully supervised approaches, SurgVLP adapts to different surgical procedures and tasks without specific fine-tuning, achieving zero-shot adaptation to tasks such as surgical tool, phase, and triplet recognition without manual annotation. These results highlight the transferability and versatility of the learned multi-modal representations in surgical video analysis. The code is available at https://github.com/CAMMA-public/SurgVLP

  OphCLIP is a hierarchical retrieval-augmented vision-language pretraining framework for ophthalmic surgical workflow understanding. OphCLIP learns both fine-grained and long-term visual representations by aligning short video clips with detailed narrative descriptions and full videos with structured titles. Our OphCLIP also designs a retrieval-augmented pretraining framework to leverage the underexplored large-scale silent surgical procedure videos.

  HecVL is a novel hierarchical video-language pretraining approach for building a generalist surgical model.

By disentangling embedding spaces of different hierarchical levels, the learned multi-modal representations encode short-term and long-term surgical concepts in the same model.
