DrGait is a training‑free framework that transforms Vision‑Language Models into clinical planners for gait analysis. It separates semantic reasoning from geometric perception using a Triage‑Verification‑Synthesis workflow, where hypotheses are generated, verified with deterministic biomechanical tools, and refined in a closed‑loop. This approach reduces hallucinations and produces transparent, audit‑ready clinical reports with competitive diagnostic accuracy.

The paper introduces ReasonCVS, a structured reasoning framework for assessing the Critical View of Safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It uses a Vision‑Language Model to build an Anatomical Scene Graph Abstraction and a Large Language Model–based Rationale‑Aware Reasoning Agent to verify sub‑criteria, producing a final verdict with traceable clinical rationale. Experiments on the Endoscapes‑CVS201 benchmark show ReasonCVS outperforms existing methods with a 68.1% mAP while offering interpretable, criterion‑level explanations.

Surgical procedures follow a phase-to-step hierarchy, yet the video-language models used to recognize them are evaluated with flat per-level metrics that ignore cross-level coherence and error structu...
arXiv:2603. 27341v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have matched or exceeded human experts in several benchmarks of biomedical task performance, but surgical benchmarks in particular are often missing from prominent medical benchmark suites.

This survey reviews recent advances in surgical video generation, categorizing methods into unconditional, conditional, and world modeling generation. It highlights a shift from creating visually plausible frames to modeling the causal dynamics of surgical scenes, and discusses challenges such as pixel-level fidelity versus clinical plausibility, generalization, physical realism, controllability, and interpretability. The paper also compiles experimental results from public datasets to serve as a quantitative benchmark for the field.
