The Role of AI in Improving Surgical Outcomes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming surgical procedures by improving precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. This study investigates the role of artificial intelligence in the optimization of robotic-assisted surgeries, preoperative planning, and intraoperative decision-making. With the rise of machine learning algorithms trained on surgical data, AI can detect issues, increase safety, and supplement surgical teams’ capabilities. This review focuses on existing surgical practice challenges, the incorporation of AI into the operating theater, and the potential for AI-driven technologies to reduce human errors. The ethical concerns and future developments required for widespread AI usage in surgery are also addressed. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, surgical robots, machine learning, patient safety, preoperative planning.
