Artificial intelligence and surgery

Compared with the conventional approach, robotic systems such as the da Vinci Surgical System enable surgeons to perform fine and complex procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control. AI enhances these systems by providing real-time analysis and precision in movement and learning from each surgery performed, thereby improving the outcomes over time. In particular, advanced image recognition powered by AI algorithms aids in quickly identifying critical anatomical structures, navigating complicated anatomy more easily, and reducing the risk of developing surgical complications. 3,4 In addition, AI's ability to understand and analyze surgical process facilitates seamless information sharing across the surgical team, contributing to the early detection of complications and ensuring rapid intervention. 5 Moreover, incorporating AI into surgical robots represents a giant leap forward.
