Researchers have developed SurgMLLM, a novel framework that unifies surgical scene understanding by integrating high-level reasoning with low-level visual grounding. This multimodal large language model (MLLM) is fine-tuned to process surgical videos, enabling it to jointly model procedural phases, instrument-verb-target triplets, and their precise segmentation. The system achieved significant improvements on the CholecT45-Scene dataset, boosting the triplet recognition metric AP_IVT from 40.7% to 46.0% and outperforming existing methods in phase recognition and segmentation.
