Impact of data on generalization of AI for surgical intelligence applications

O. Bar, D. Neimark, et al.

This study explores how data volume influences AI's ability to generalize in surgical applications. Researchers developed a deep learning system using a diverse cholecystectomy video dataset, achieving impressive accuracy and demonstrating robustness across different medical settings. This work emphasizes the critical role of large datasets for advancing AI in surgery, conducted by Omri Bar, Daniel Neimark, Maya Zohar, Gregory D. Hager, Ross Girshick, Gerald M. Fried, Tamir Wolf, and Dotan Asselmann.

Abstract
AI is becoming ubiquitous, revolutionizing many aspects of our lives. In surgery, it is still a promise. AI has the potential to improve surgeon performance and impact patient care, from post-operative debrief to real-time decision support. But, how much data is needed by an AI-based system to learn surgical context with high fidelity? To answer this question, we leveraged a large-scale, diverse, cholecystectomy video dataset. We assessed surgical workflow recognition and report a deep learning system, that not only detects surgical phases, but does so with high accuracy and is able to generalize to new settings and unseen medical centers. Our findings provide a solid foundation for translating AI applications from research to practice, ushering in a new era of surgical intelligence.
