A new strategy improves surgical tool recognition in robotic procedures, enhancing surgeon efficiency and safety.
- Mean average precision in testing reached 0.4669.
- Recall rates for tools varied from 79.36% to 99.75%, with precision rates from 57.65% to 97.35%.
The approach could reduce surgeon workload and improve training for future robotic systems.
- Specific performance for bipolar forceps, needle driver, and cautery hook exceeded 94% in both recall and precision.
