2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information that distinguishes portions of the historical surgical footage into frames associated with an intraoperative surgical event includes an indicator of at least one of a presence or a movement of a surgical tool.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information that distinguishes portions of the historical surgical footage into frames associated with an intraoperative surgical event includes detected tools and anatomical features in associated frames.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request of the user includes an indication of at least one type of intraoperative surgical event of interest, and wherein the first group of frames depicts at least one intraoperative surgical event of the at least one type of intraoperative surgical event of interest.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request of the user includes a request to view a plurality of intraoperative surgical events in the particular surgical footage, and wherein presenting to the user an aggregate of the first group of frames includes displaying the first group frames in chronological order with chronological frames of the second group omitted.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the historical data further includes historical surgical outcome data and respective historical cause data;
the first group of frames includes a cause set of frames and an outcome set of frames;
the second group of frames includes an intermediate set of frames; and
wherein the method further comprises:
analyzing the particular surgical footage to identify a surgical outcome and a respective cause of the surgical outcome, the identifying being based on the historical outcome data and respective historical cause data;
detecting, based on the analyzing, the outcome set of frames in the particular surgical footage, the outcome set of frames being within an outcome phase of the surgical procedure;
detecting, based on the analyzing, a cause set of frames in the particular surgical footage, the cause set of frames being within a cause phase of the surgical procedure remote in time from the outcome phase, and wherein the intermediate set of frames is within an intermediate phase interposed between the cause set of frames and the outcome set of frames;
generating a cause-effect summary of the surgical footage, wherein the cause-effect summary includes the cause set of frames and the outcome set of frames and omits the intermediate set of frames; and
wherein the aggregate of the first group of frames presented to the user includes the cause-effect summary.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the cause phase includes a surgical phase in which the cause occurred, and wherein the cause set of frames is a subset of the frames in the cause phase.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the outcome phase includes a surgical phase in which the outcome is observable, and wherein the outcome set of frames is a subset of frames in the outcome phase.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises using a machine learning model trained to identify surgical outcomes and respective causes of the surgical outcomes using the historical data to analyze the particular surgical footage.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular surgical footage depicts a surgical procedure performed on a patient and captured by at least one image sensor in an operating room, and wherein the method further comprises exporting the first group of frames for storage in a medical record of the patient.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises generating an index of the at least one intraoperative surgical event, and exporting the first group of frames includes generating a compilation of the first group of frames, the compilation including the index and being configured to enable viewing of the at least one intraoperative surgical event based on a selection of one or more index items.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the compilation contains a series of frames of differing intraoperative events stored as a continuous video.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein a location of the at least one image sensor is at least one of above an operating table in the operating room or within the patient.
14. The method of claim 10 , the method further including associating the first group of frames with a unique patient identifier and updating a medical record including the unique patient identifier.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein distinguishing in the particular surgical footage the first group of frames from the second group of frames includes:
analyzing the particular surgical footage to detect a medical instrument;
analyzing the particular surgical footage to detect an anatomical structure;
analyzing the video to detect a relative movement between the detected medical instrument and the detected anatomical structure; and
distinguishing the first group of frames from the second group of frames based on the relative movement, wherein the first group of frames includes surgical activity frames and the second group of frames includes non-surgical activity frames, and wherein presenting the aggregate thereby enables a surgeon preparing for surgery to omit the non-surgical activity frames during a video review of the abridged presentation.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein distinguishing the first group of frames from the second group of frames is further based on a detected relative position between the medical instrument and the anatomical structure.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein distinguishing the first group of frames from the second group of frames is further based on a detected interaction between the medical instrument and the anatomical structure.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein omitting the non-surgical activity frames includes omitting a majority of frames that capture non-surgical activity.
19. A system for generating surgical summary footage, the system including:
at least one processor configured to:
access particular surgical footage containing a first group of frames associated with at least one intraoperative surgical event and a second group of frames not associated with surgical activity;
access historical data associated with historical surgical footage of prior surgical procedures, wherein the historical data includes information that distinguishes portions of the historical surgical footage into frames associated with intraoperative surgical events and frames not associated with surgical activity;
distinguish in the particular surgical footage the first group of frames from the second group of frames based on the information of the historical data; and
upon request of a user, present to the user an aggregate of the first group of frames of the particular surgical footage, while omitting presentation to the user of the second group of frames.
