Summary Abstract:During surgery for glioma, surgeon will resect a glioma based on experience and technique, by considering
tumor position, brain function, and surrounding structure. The experience and technique of surgeon is implicit knowledge;
the visualization of this knowledge is important for improvement and educational support to increase the quality of medical
care. Therefore, we aim to visualize the knowledge by the identification and analysis of surgical processes, based on previous research1). As a result, Visualization of implicit knowledge requires refinement of the model and visualization of the
procedure. In this study, we propose of surgical processes model and identification method process using machine learning
in awake surgery. First, we subdivided the process that includes the surgeonʼs procedure into 13 processes as the fourth
layer in the previous 3 layered HHMM model. Seconds, we automatically extract the features using machine learning,
image and signal processing. Finally, surgical processes are identified using the new features. The method has been evaluated on the past data. Accuracy of the identified processes was 63.2%. Feature extraction accuracy greatly affects identification accuracy. Therefore, more accurate extraction is necessary in the future. Our future work is development of surgical
process analysis system to visualize of implicit surgical knowledge.
