Despite the growing awareness on health disparities, there still remains an important gap in research efforts between men's and women's health. A PudMed's request in December 2024 on the two most common gender specific surgeries returned 22,534 results for "radical prostatectomy", and only 3,779 for "radical hysterectomy". There are other important women's health issues which still have too little consideration, such as endometriosis which affects approximately 10% of women worldwide, and would benefit from research efforts in computer assisted surgery. Surgical data science has an important potential for improving surgical management. This may impact the whole perioperative process from diagnosis, strategy decision, planning. performance and post-operative evaluation, as well as initial and continuous learning. In the presentation, we will present the challenges related to women health and how the ones related to surgical management can be addressed by Surgical Data Science and more specifically by studying and understanding surgical skills. We will present our first results in the context of women health as well as results from other surgical specialties (e.g. neurosurgery, orthopedics) showing potentiality. Examples will cover different aspects of surgical skills from technical to non-technical ones.
