abstract = {Surgical scene understanding (SSU) uses artificial
intelligence (AI) to interpret visual data from surgeries,
such as laparoscopic videos. Despite promising foundational
research on instrument and anatomy recognition, clinical
adoption remains minimal. This systematic review and
meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD420251005301) evaluates current
SSU research in minimally invasive abdominal surgery,
focusing on data curation, model design, validation,
reporting standards, and clinical relevance. A total of 188
studies were reviewed. Most relied on small, single-center
datasets $(70.7\%),$ primarily laparoscopic
cholecystectomies $(59.0\%),$ reflecting an overall narrow
topical breadth. Validation practices were often weak,
rarely involving external datasets $(10.1\%)$ or clinical
experts. Few studies addressed clinical translation
$(5.9\%),$ model performance variability estimation
$(38.3\%),$ or made code available $(29.8\%).$ Overall,
limited progress toward clinical integration has been made
over the past decade. Our findings highlight the need for
diverse, multi-institutional datasets, robust validation
practices, and clinically driven development to unlock the
full potential of SSU in surgical practice.},
