Machine learning and deep learning in hernia surgery

Machine learning and deep learning technologies are increasingly utilized in hernia surgery, showing promise in predicting outcomes and identifying factors associated with postoperative complications. Thirteen studies from 2020 to 2023 were included, focusing on inguinal, ventral, and incisional hernias. These studies varied in population, types of models used, and outcomes predicted, showcasing the potential of artificial intelligence in improving abdominal core health through accurate predictions and risk identification.
