Artificial intelligence improves safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

A systematic review of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy reveals promising results. Analysis of 25 studies shows an average precision of 98% in identifying biliary structures, with the AI system altering annotations in 27% of cases. Notably, 70% of these adjustments were deemed safer, indicating AI’s potential to enhance surgical precision and mitigate the risk of bile duct injuries. The contribution to preventing such injuries was rated highly at 3.65 out of 4.
