Endoscopic surgery is currently an important treatment method in the field of
spinal surgery and avoiding damage to the spinal nerves through video guidance
is a key challenge. This paper presents the first real-time segmentation method
for spinal nerves in endoscopic surgery, which provides crucial navigational
information for surgeons. A finely annotated segmentation dataset of
approximately 10,000 consec-utive frames recorded during surgery is constructed
for the first time for this field, addressing the problem of semantic
segmentation. Based on this dataset, we propose FUnet (Frame-Unet), which
achieves state-of-the-art performance by utilizing inter-frame information and
self-attention mechanisms. We also conduct extended exper-iments on a similar
polyp endoscopy video dataset and show that the model has good generalization
ability with advantageous performance. The dataset and code of this work are
