Application of artificial intelligence in colorectal surgery / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

With the dramatically development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially the advent of deep learning, now it can be applied to medicine reliably and efficiently. In the field of colorectal surgery, the application of AI has resulted in profound affect. The detection of colon polyp and assessment of invasiveness depth of colorectal cancer were improved by AI-assisted colonoscopy. Based on the routine data from medical imaging, demographic and clinicopathological parameters, AI may provide more accurate predictions about prognosis, surgical complication and outcome, so to help decision making and perioperative management. And the advent of real intelligent operative robot will make automatic operation possible in the future. The application of AI will improve the development of colorectal surgery significantly and make it more precise, effective and intelligent.
