CataNet: Predicting Remaining Cataract Surgery Duration

Cataract surgery is a sight saving that performed over 10 million times each year around the world. With such large demand, ability to organize surgical wards and operating rooms efficiently critical delivery this therapy in routine clinical care. In context, estimating remaining duration (RSD) during procedures one way help streamline patient throughput workflows. To end, we propose CataNet, method for cataract surgeries predicts real time RSD jointly with two influential elements: surgeon’s experience, current phase of surgery. We compare CataNet state-of-the-art estimation methods, showing it outperforms them even when experience are not considered. investigate improvement show significant contributor integrate elapsed into CataNet’s feature extractor.
