SurgicalCue

See how experts performed the same step.

SurgicalCue matches a clip from a robotic urology procedure to the closest expert footage in about 1.2 seconds, drawing on more than 650 robotic urology videos.

How it works

  1. Share a clip

    Start with a short clip from a robotic urology procedure, the step you want to understand or improve.

  2. Find the closest expert step

    SurgicalCue searches more than 650 expert robotic urology videos and returns the closest matching moments in about 1.2 seconds.

  3. Learn from how experts did it

    Watch how experienced surgeons handled the same moment, and compare it with your own approach.

What works today

Available now

  • Retrieval of the closest expert step in about 1.2 seconds.
  • More than 650 robotic urology videos indexed, from prostatectomy and prostate enucleation to partial and radical nephrectomy.
  • New procedures are added by indexing video, with no model retraining.

In development

  • Expert audio commentary delivered with every match. The audio is already recorded alongside the videos.

Under the hood: a frozen video foundation model (V-JEPA 2) paired with fast similarity search.

Who it's for

Surgical training programs

Residents and fellows can see how experienced surgeons approached the same step they are learning, on demand, without waiting for the right case to come along.

Robotic platform companies

Surgeons adopting a new robotic system need to see how experts perform each step. SurgicalCue turns surgical video into a searchable library of expert technique, with no retraining needed as the library grows.
