Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence to Teach Cleft Lip Surgery

Conclusions: We successfully developed an AI algorithm that can identify the 21 surgically important anatomic landmarks of the unilateral cleft lip. This model can be used alone or integrated with surface projection to guide various cleft lip/nose repairs. Having demonstrated the feasibility of creating such a model on the complex three-dimensional surface of the lip and nose, it is easy to envision expanding the use of AI models to understand all of human surface anatomy—the full territory and playground of plastic surgeons.
