Redefining the Era of Digital Surgery: The Role of Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Machine Learning in the Surgical Field
Abstract
The era of digital surgery is characterized by the implementation of new technologies that have the potential to improve preoperative planning, increase the availability of therapeutic alternatives, improve surgical training in apprentices, optimize postoperative results for patients, and reduce possible adverse events (1). Although the incorporation of these technologies has the main premise of improving patients' clinical outcomes, the use of these advances has been accelerated by commercial interests and the opportunities that large companies have to generate profits worldwide (2).
The technologies that are currently having a direct impact on the surgical field are artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and machine learning (ML), without forgetting the availability of other robotic devices (3). Although digital surgery is gaining more popularity in the clinical practice, there is still a lack of knowledge about it, its benefits, and potential barriers to its adoption.
