Language-based translation and prediction of surgical navigation steps for endoscopic wayfinding assistance in minimally invasive surgery

ConclusionWe implemented a natural language-based prediction method for sentence-level navigation steps in endoscopic surgery. The sentence-level prediction method showed a potential that word relations to navigation tasks can be learned and used for predicting future steps. Further studies are needed to investigate the functionality of path prediction. The prediction approach is a first step in the field of visuo-linguistic navigation assistance for endoscopic minimally invasive surgery.
