摘要

Bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy (BABA RT) is a well-established minimally invasive surgical option; however, shifts in preferences regarding the energy devices used for the procedure have not been analyzed quantitatively. This study retrospectively reviewed 81 BABA-RT videos from 2013 to 2021, and a YOLOv5 deep learning model was used to analyze the use of four energy devices: Harmonic ACE curved shears, Permanent cautery hook, ProGrasp forceps, and Maryland bipolar forceps. The data revealed a significant temporal shift in the type of device used. Use of Harmonic ACE curved shears fell from 72.3% in 2013 to 20.7% in 2021. By contrast, use of the Permanent cautery hook increased from 27.7% to 79.3% during the same period. There was no change in use of the other two devices. This study shows that deep learning is a tool that can be used to track surgical device usage based on video evidence. The findings indicate a gradual shift in the device chosen for BABA RT, from Harmonic ACE curved shears to a Permanent cautery hook, over the past decade, and reflect evolving surgical preferences and techniques.
