AI Revolutionizes Surgical Video Analysis in Cholecystectomy

AI algorithms were utilized to analyze 481 laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos, revealing that operative time elongated with case complexity. The study found that consultants had a longer duration of anatomy visualization compared to trainees, particularly in complex cases, with the cystic duct often identified before the cystic artery. By correlating AI-derived analytics with clinical variables, the research highlights the real-world utility of AI in enhancing surgical video analysis and patient outcomes.
