contents Online surgical phase recognition plays a significant role towards building contextual tools that could quantify performance and oversee the execution of surgical workflows. Current approaches are limited since they train spatial feature extractors using frame-level supervision that could lead to incorrect predictions due to similar frames appearing at different phases, and poorly fuse local and global features due to computational constraints which can affect the analysis of long videos commonly encountered in surgical interventions. In this paper, we present a two-stage method, called Long Video Transformer (LoViT) for fusing short- and long-term temporal information that combines a temporally-rich spatial feature extractor and a multi-scale temporal aggregator consisting of two cascaded L-Trans modules based on self-attention, followed by a G-Informer module based on ProbSparse self-attention for processing global temporal information. The multi-scale temporal head then combines local and global features and classifies surgical phases using phase transition-aware supervision. Our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the Cholec80 and AutoLaparo datasets consistently. Compared to Trans-SVNet, LoViT achieves a 2.4 pp (percentage point) improvement in video-level accuracy on Cholec80 and a 3.1 pp improvement on AutoLaparo. Moreover, it achieves a 5.3 pp improvement in phase-level Jaccard on AutoLaparo and a 1.55 pp improvement on Cholec80. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in achieving state-of-the-art performance of surgical phase recognition on two datasets of different surgical procedures and temporal sequencing characteristics whilst introducing mechanisms that cope with long videos.
