SurgicalMamba introduces a dual‑path Structured State‑Space Duality (SSD) model with two novel mechanisms—state regramming and intensity‑modulated stepping—to improve online surgical phase recognition. State regramming rotates the carried state at chunk boundaries based on content, separating repeated views that occur in different phases, while intensity‑modulated stepping adjusts decay rates at phase transitions to better capture phase length variability. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art accuracy and Jaccard scores on seven public benchmarks, running at 312.88 fps on a single GPU, and its rotation mechanism also boosts multi‑query associative recall in other domains.
The paper introduces LaST, a large-small collaborative framework for zero-shot surgical phase recognition. It combines a foundation model that generates frame-level phase priors with a lightweight model that refines predictions through iterative temporal refinement, dynamic quality control, and dual-model cross-learning. Experiments show LaST outperforms baseline and state-of-the-art methods, achieving significant accuracy gains on unseen clinical domains.

OphBiWSSD is a new framework for temporal action localization in ophthalmic surgeries that uses Bidirectional State Space Duality to avoid the quadratic memory cost of Transformers. It employs a weight‑tied selective scan that incorporates both past and future surgical context, enabling linear‑time global synthesis of non‑causal temporal cues. On the OphNet benchmark, OphBiWSSD achieves state‑of‑the‑art mean Average Precisions of 44.42 % for phases and 43.08 % for operations, outperforming baselines by 6.80 % and 6.66 % respectively.
The paper introduces SurgFUTR, a state‑change learning framework for predicting future events in endoscopic videos. Instead of forecasting raw observations, it classifies transitions between current and future states using a teacher‑student architecture and an Action Dynamics module. The authors also present SFPBench, a benchmark with five short‑ and long‑term prediction tasks, and demonstrate consistent improvements across multiple datasets and procedures, including cross‑procedure transfer.
