Can AI learn from surgery videos to make operations safer?
NCT ID NCT07752862
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study gathers full-length videos from thousands of minimally invasive surgeries, along with medical records and follow-up data. The goal is to create a large, standardized dataset to train AI models that could assist in surgical training, quality control, and research. No treatment or intervention is given to participants—they simply allow their anonymized surgical data to be used for this purpose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create a large, standardized video library to train AI that helps surgeons learn, improves surgical safety, and may link surgical details to patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The AI models may not work as hoped, and collecting high-quality data from many hospitals is challenging.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged ≥ 18 years old hospitalized to receive minimally invasive endoscopic, laparoscopic or robotic surgical treatment for diseases of various body systems; 2. Complete full-length intraoperative surgical videos can be recorded during operation, with complete medical records and preoperative imaging data; 3. Participants fully understand the study, voluntarily sign written informed consent, and agree that their de-identified intraoperative images and clinical data can be used for scientific research. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Minors under 18 years of age; 2. Patients with incomplete intraoperative videos or missing clinical imaging documents; 3. Patients with consciousness disturbance or mental disorders who cannot sign informed consent independently; 4. Subjects who refuse to participate in the study and disapprove the use of their medical data for research; 5. Patients who are predicted to be unavailable for long-term postoperative follow-up.
