  • 1

    Pituitary adenomas are prevalent brain tumors that affect patient morbidity, mortality, and quality of life.

  • 2

    Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is the standard treatment, but outcomes depend heavily on the surgeon's technical skills.

  • 3

    AI can enhance surgical performance assessment by analyzing surgical video data to identify key technical determinants.

  • 4

    This study aims to create a consensus-based action classification ontology for the tumor resection step in pituitary surgery.

  • 5

    The developed framework will facilitate standardized data curation and AI model training for improved surgical outcomes.
