Clear visualization during transnasal endoscopic surgery (TNES) is crucial for safe, efficient surgery. The endoscopic surgical field clarity index (ESFCI) is an artificial intelligence-enabled measure of surgical field quality. The ESFCI allows researchers to evaluate interventions to improve visualization during TNES.
