Artificial Intelligence in Surgery
It addresses the integration of AI into surgical practice for medical professionals, but is incremental as it reviews existing applications rather than presenting new research.
This paper reviews how artificial intelligence is transforming surgery through applications in pre-operative planning, intra-operative guidance, and surgical robots, summarizing current trends and future challenges.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gradually changing the practice of surgery with the advanced technological development of imaging, navigation and robotic intervention. In this article, the recent successful and influential applications of AI in surgery are reviewed from pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance to the integration of surgical robots. We end with summarizing the current state, emerging trends and major challenges in the future development of AI in surgery.
