Surgical Video Generation From Diffusion to World Models: A Survey

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Surgical video data provides the primary training resource for models of intraoperative perception, surgical workflow understanding, and robotic decision-making. However, clinical data acquisition remains constrained by privacy, cost, and class imbalance. Surgical video generation has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing data scarcity and as a foundation for surgical simulation, training, and robotic policy learning. The field has developed rapidly without a clear conceptual framework. This survey organizes the 2024-2026 literature into three categories: unconditional generation,
