ABSTRACT
In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has rapidly emerged and flourished owing to the advancement of information technology and the incomparable advantages such as small trauma and rapid recovery, and has become the embryo for the development of surgical intelligence. The continuous improvement of medical demands, the advancement of surgical intelligence, and the gradual accumulation of new technology, especially the breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology, eventually led to the birth of intelligent surgery. Intelligent surgery can raise the level of automation in surgical practice to new heights, change the thinking mode of surgeons, and create new surgical models and new medical industries. Intelligent technology will change the service logic of surgeons, so the surgeons must have comprehensive ability.
