Abstract

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly prominent tool in the field of neurosurgery, revolutionizing various aspects of patient care and surgical practices. AI-powered systems can provide real-time feedback to surgeons, enhancing precision and reducing the risk of complications during surgical procedures. The objective of this study is to review the role of AI in training neurosurgical residents, improving accuracy during surgery and reducing complications.

Methods: The literature search method involved searching PubMed using relevant keywords to identify English literature publications, including full texts, and concerning human subject matter from its inception until May 2024, initially generating 247,747 results. Articles were then screened for topic relevancy by abstract contents. Further articles were retrieved from the sources cited by the initially reviewed articles. A comprehensive review was then performed on various studies, including observational studies, case-control studies, cohort studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, and reviews by 4 reviewers individually and then collectively.

Results: Studies on AI in neurosurgery reach more than 4,000 produced over a decade alone. The majority of studies regarding clinical diagnosis, risk prediction, and intraoperative guidance remain retrospective in nature. In its current form, AI based paradigm performed inferiorly to neurosurgery residents in test taking.

Conclusion: AI has potential for broad applications in neurosurgery from use as a diagnostic, predictive, intraoperative, or educational tool. Further research is warranted for prospective use of AI based technology for delivery of neurosurgical care.

期刊介绍： World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The journal''s mission is to: -To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care. -To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide. -To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients. Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
