• Abstract summary: We introduce a fully-fledged surgical simulator that automatically produces all necessary annotations for modern CAS systems. It offers a more complex and realistic simulation of surgical interactions, including the dynamics between surgical instruments and deformable anatomical environments. We propose a lightweight and flexible image-to-image translation method based on Stable Diffusion and Low-Rank Adaptation.

• Abstract: Computer-assisted surgical (CAS) systems enhance surgical execution and outcomes by providing advanced support to surgeons. These systems often rely on deep learning models trained on complex, challenging-to-annotate data. While synthetic data generation can address these challenges, enhancing the realism of such data is crucial. This work introduces a multi-stage pipeline for generating realistic synthetic data, featuring a fully-fledged surgical simulator that automatically produces all necessary annotations for modern CAS systems. This simulator generates a wide set of annotations that surpass those available in public synthetic datasets. Additionally, it offers a more complex and realistic simulation of surgical interactions, including the dynamics between surgical instruments and deformable anatomical environments, outperforming existing approaches. To further bridge the visual gap between synthetic and real data, we propose a lightweight and flexible image-to-image translation method based on Stable Diffusion (SD) and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). This method leverages a limited amount of annotated data, enables efficient training, and maintains the integrity of annotations generated by our simulator. The proposed pipeline is experimentally validated and can translate synthetic images into images with real-world characteristics, which can generalize to real-world context, thereby improving both training and CAS guidance. The code and the dataset are available at https://github.com/SanoScience/SimuScope.

  We introduce SurGrID, a Scene Graph to Image Diffusion Model, allowing for controllable surgical scene synthesis. Scene Graphs encode a surgical scene's components' spatial and semantic information, which are then translated into an intermediate representation. Our proposed method improves the fidelity of generated images and their coherence with the graph input over the state-of-the-art.
