基于ResNet网络模型的手术切口常见特征的识别

OBJECTIVE: In recent years, due to the development of accelerated recovery after surgery and day surgery in the field of surgery, the average length-of-stay of patients has been shortened and patients stay at home for post-surgical recovery and healing of the surgical incisions. In order to identify, in a timely manner, the problems that may appear at the incision site and help patients prevent or reduce the anxiety they may experience after discharge, we used deep learning method in this study to classify the features of common complications of surgical incisions, hoping to realize patient-directed early identification of complications common to surgical incisions. METHODS: A total of 1224 postoperative photographs of patients' surgical incisions were taken and collected at a tertiary-care hospital between June 2021 and March 2022. The photographs were collated and categorized according to different features of complications of the surgical incisions. Then, the photographs were divided into training, validation, and test sets at the ratio of 8∶1∶1 and 4 types of convolutional neural networks were applied in the training and testing of the models. RESULTS: Through the training of multiple convolutional neural networks and the testing of the model performance on the basis of a test set of 300 surgical incision images, the average accuracy of the four ResNet classification network models, SE-ResNet101, ResNet50, ResNet101, and SE-ResNet50, for surgical incision classification was 0.941, 0.903, 0.896, and 0.918, respectively, the precision was 0.939, 0.898, 0.868, and 0.903, respectively, and the recall rate was 0.930, 0.880, 0.850, and 0.894, respectively, with the SE-Resnet101 network model showing the highest average accuracy of 0.941 for incision feature classification. CONCLUSION: Through the combined use of deep learning technology and images of surgical incisions, problematic features of surgical incisions can be effectively identified by examining surgical incision images. It is expected that patients will eventually be able to perform self-examination of surgical incisions on smart terminals.
