However, inherent limitations including hallucinations, outdated clinical context, and unreliable references pose serious concerns for their clinical utility. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models address these limitations by integrating validated, curated medical literature directly into AI workflows, significantly enhancing the accuracy, relevance, and transparency of generated outputs. This viewpoint discusses how RAG frameworks can specifically benefit plastic and reconstructive surgery by providing contextually accurate, evidence-based, and clinically grounded support for decision-making. Potential clinical applications include clinical decision support, efficient evidence synthesis, customizable patient education, informed consent materials, multilingual capabilities, and structured surgical documentation. By querying specialized databases that incorporate contemporary guidelines and literature, RAG models can markedly reduce inaccuracies and increase the reliability of AI-generated responses. However, the implementation of RAG technology demands rigorous database curation, regular updating with guidelines from surgical societies, and ongoing validation to maintain clinical relevance. Addressing challenges related to data privacy, governance, ethical considerations, and user training remains critical for successful clinical adoption. In conclusion, RAG models represent a significant advancement in overcoming traditional LLM limitations, promoting transparency and clinical accuracy with great potential for plastic surgery.
