Event detection and understanding is an important area in computer science and especially multimedia. The term event is very broad, and we want to propose a novel event based view on endoscopic surgeries. Thus, with the novel view on surgery in this paper, we want to provide a better understanding and possible way of segmentation of the whole event surgery but also the included sub-events. To achieve this sophisticated goal, we present an annotation tool in combination with a thinking aloud test with an experienced surgeon.
