Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) operators frequently adjust the field-of-view (FOV) during procedures, which interrupts workflow and increases procedure time. Conventional microscopes require manual objective lens switching and illumination adjustments to achieve different FOV sizes.

Background: Laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN) is a critical skill, yet its current assessment typically relies on manual rating systems which are time-consuming and difficult to scale. Automated feedback could significantly enhance surgical training by providing immediate, standardized metrics.

The paper introduces a semantic RGB–Depth framework for assessing microsurgical skill from microscopic stereo videos. It fuses sparse metric stereo depth with dense monocular depth to create a dense geometric scene representation, which is combined with semantically segmented RGB streams of instruments and anatomy. Using a hierarchical attention architecture, the model achieves an F1 score of 0.938 for skill-level classification, outperforming RGB-only and depth-only baselines.

MV-dVRK is the first ex‑vivo surgical dataset that provides multiple exposure‑synchronized stereo viewpoints, accurate surface geometry, and ground‑truth camera poses for endoscopic images. The benchmark’s static subset offers dense SfM reference geometry validated against an industrial 3D scanner, while the dynamic sequences cover ten surgical tasks with increasing kinematic complexity and tissue deformation. Using MV‑dVRK, the authors systematically compare zero‑shot monocular, stereo, multi‑stereo, and multi‑view 3D reconstruction methods, finding that multi‑stereo reconstruction with two endoscopes yields the highest coverage, and that optimization‑based multi‑view methods outperform feed‑forward foundation models when a third viewpoint is added.
