Artificial Intelligence in Surgical Planning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing surgical planning by analyzing large datasets, imaging, and patient-specific factors to assist in decision-making and predicting outcomes. AI tools can identify anatomical landmarks, assess surgical risks, and suggest optimal approaches. In preoperative planning, AI enhances precision in tumor mapping, implant design, and minimally invasive strategies. Machine learning algorithms continuously improve from real-world data, providing personalized surgical plans. Integration with robotics, virtual reality, and real-time imaging further refines surgical execution. As AI matures, it is poised to reduce errors, optimize resource use, and support surgeons in delivering safer and more effective care.
