Abstract

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have markedly affected various fields, with notable progress in surgery. This study explores the integration of AI in surgery, particularly focusing on minimally invasive surgery (MIS), where high-quality surgical videos provide fertile ground for computer vision (CV) technology applications. CV plays an important role in enhancing intraoperative decision-making through real-time image recognition. This study considers the challenges in clinical applications and future perspectives by reviewing the current state of AI in navigation during surgery, postoperative analysis, and automated surgical skill assessment.
