Abstract
Operation notes are a crucial component of patient care. However, writing them manually is prone to human error, particularly in high pressured clinical environments. Automatic generation of operation notes from video recordings can alleviate some of the administrative burdens, improve accuracy, and provide additional information. To achieve this for endoscopic pituitary surgery, 27-steps were identified via expert consensus. Then, for the 97-videos recorded for this study, a timestamp of each step was annotated by an expert surgeon. To automatically determine whether a step is present in a video, a three-stage architecture was created. Firstly, for each step, a convolution neural network was used for binary image classification on each frame of a video. Secondly, for each step, the binary frame classifications were passed to a discriminator for binary video classification. Thirdly, for each video, the binary video classifications were passed to an accumulator for multi-label step classification. The architecture was trained on 77-videos, and tested on 20-videos, where a 0.80 weighted-F1 score was achieved. The classifications were inputted into a clinically based predefined template, and further enriched with additional video analytics. This work therefore demonstrates automatic generation of operative notes from surgical videos is feasible, and can assist surgeons during documentation.
