Regarding this issue, we propose an innovative two-stage video generation architecture HiEndo for generating high-resolution gastrointestinal laparoscopy videos with high fidelity. In the first stage, we build a diffusion transformer for generating a low-resolution laparoscopy video upon the basic capability of Endora as an initial start. In the second stage, we further design a super resolution module to improve the resolution of initial video and refine the fine-grained details. With these two stages, we could obtain high-resolution realistic laparoscopy videos with high fidelity, which can meet the real-world clinical usage. We also collect a large-scale gastrointestinal laparoscopy video dataset with 61,270 video clips for training and validation of our proposed method.

The objective is to enhance documentation accuracy and reliability by providing precise identification of injection events and anesthetic amounts administered, while addressing stopcock placement variability. We developed a computer vision pipeline tailored for automated anesthetic injection documentation in surgical environments. The pipeline leverages the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for robust syringe segmentation, combined with vector similarity matching for generalization across different syringe sizes and occlusions. This few-shot segmentation strategy ensures generalization while minimizing annotation effort. The pipeline also integrates lightweight methods for motion detection, syringe classification, and volume estimation to ensure quasi-real-time performance. The system was tested on 304 injection events performed by 19 anesthesiologists using syringes of four sizes (3, 5, 10 and 20 ml). The pipeline achieved 100% injection-event detection sensitivity and an overall 86.3% documentation success rate. Volume estimation accuracy varied across syringe sizes, with mean absolute error (MAE) values of 0.10, 0.22, 0.37, and 0.61 ml for 3, 5, 10, and 20 ml syringes, respectively.
