Appendix300: A multi-institutional laparoscopic appendectomy video dataset for computational modeling tasks.

ABSTRACT: The limited availability of diverse and representative training data poses a critical barrier to the development of clinically relevant computational tools for intraoperative surgical decision support. As surgical interventions are not routinely recorded and data annotation often requires domain knowledge, existing open-access surgical video datasets with high-quality annotations are available only for a restricted number of surgical procedures, such as cholecystectomy, and typically originate from a single institution. Appendix300 is a comprehensive dataset of video footage from 330 surgical procedures, including 312 full-length recordings of laparoscopic appendectomies in pediatric and adult patients treated at five German centers, along with 18 control recordings of non-inflamed appendi
