Artificial Intelligence in Perioperative Planning and Management of Liver Resection

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) is a speciality within computer science that deals with creating systems that can replicate the intelligence of a human mind and has problem-solving abilities. AI includes a diverse array of techniques and approaches such as machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, robotics, and expert systems. An electronic literature search was conducted using the databases of “PubMed” and “Google Scholar”. The period for the search was from 2000 to June 2023. The search terms included “artificial intelligence”, “machine learning”, “liver cancers”, “liver tumors”, “hepatectomy”, “perioperative” and their synonyms in various combinations. Th e search also included all MeSH terms. The extracted articles were further reviewed in a step-wise manner for identification of relevant studies. A total of 148 articles were identified after the initial literature search. Initial review included screening of article titles for relevance and identif ying duplicates. Finally, 65 articles were reviewed for this review article. The future of AI in liver cancer planning and management holds immense promise. AI-driven advancements will increasingly enable precise tumour detection, location, and characterisation through enhanced image analysis. ML al gorithms will predict patient-specific treatment responses and complications, allowing for tailored therapies. Surgical robots and AI-guided procedures will enhance the pre...
