The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Plastic Surgery: Review, Applications, and Future Prospects to Revolutionize Patients Outcomes, Safety and Satisfaction
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in plastic surgery holds immense potential for transforming the field, improving outcomes, and enhancing patient satisfaction. This article examines the application of AI in pre-operative planning, intra-operative decision making, and post-operative monitoring. AI tools leverage patient images to provide valuable insights into surgical outcomes, aiding in visualization and communication. Real-time guidance during surgery is facilitated by AI's analysis of intra-operative images, ensuring accurate execution and enhancing safety. In post-operative monitoring, AI analyzes patient data to predict outcomes, detect complications, and optimize wound healing assessment. Despite challenges, the future of AI in plastic surgery looks promising, with advancements in augmented reality, mobile applications, computer vision, and robotically assisted treatments driving progress and strengthening patient-physician relationships.
