ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Most studies on surgical activity recognition utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) have focused mainly on recognizing one type of activity from small and mono-centric surgical video datasets. It remains speculative whether those models would generalize to other centers.METHODS:
In this work, we introduce a large multi-centric multi-activity dataset consisting of 140 surgical videos (MultiBypass140) of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgeries performed at two medical centers, i.e., the University Hospital of Strasbourg, France (StrasBypass70) and Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, Switzerland (BernBypass70). The dataset has been fully annotated with phases and steps by two board-certified surgeons. Furthermore, we assess the generalizability and benchmark different deep learning models for the task of phase and step recognition in 7 experimental studies (1) Training and evaluation on BernBypass70; (2) Training and evaluation on StrasBypass70; (3) Training and evaluation on the joint MultiBypass140 dataset; (4) Training on BernBypass70, evaluation on StrasBypass70; (5) Training on StrasBypass70, evaluation on BernBypass70; Training on MultiBypass140, (6) evaluation on BernBypass70 and (7) evaluation on StrasBypass70.RESULTS:
The model's performance is markedly influenced by the training data. The worst results were obtained in experiments (4) and (5) confirming the limited generalization capabilities of models trained on mono-centric data. The use of multi-centric training data, experiments (6) and (7), improves the generalization capabilities of the models, bringing them beyond the level of independent mono-centric training and validation (experiments (1) and (2)).CONCLUSION:
MultiBypass140 shows considerable variation in surgical technique and workflow of LRYGB procedures between centers. Therefore, generalization experiments demonstrate a remarkable difference in model performance. These results highlight the importance of multi-centric datasets for AI model generalization to account for variance in surgical technique and workflows.
