The introduction of elements of artificial intelligence (AI) and systems which are using AI makes this already complex topic even more challenging. The introduction of so-called dynamic AI or dynamic machine learning (ML) algorithms in this respect represents a turning point. Unlike conventional medical devices, the development of systems using dynamic AI is not yet complete at the beginning of the clinical application. The aim of a dynamic AI system is to continuously improve through practical use and by the processing of usage data. This continuous evolution, along with the lack of transparency regarding internal work processes, could make it difficult to understand the underlying rationale for the assessments made by the algorithms. This aspect affects the acceptance of the technology both by clinicians and patients and furthermore questions the autonomy of patients and clinicians in the course of the treatment process. A way out of this ethical and regulatory dilemma must urgently be found and will require extreme efforts from all stakeholders. At present, no consensual solution is apparent. What is quite certain, however, is that users, i.e. in concrete terms surgeons, must play a much more active role than they have done in the past when dealing with AI-based medical devices and should prepare themselves to actively accompany the software life cycle of AI technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":50700,"journal":{"name":"Chirurg","volume":"93 3","pages":"223-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39909557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further developments in neoadjuvant therapy concepts, such as the principle of total neoadjuvant therapy, lead to an increasing number of patients who show a complete clinical response in restaging after neoadjuvant therapy without clinically detectable residual tumor. In view of the risk associated with radical surgical resection in terms of perioperative morbidity and a potentially non-continence-preserving procedure, the question of the oncological justifiability of an organ-preserving procedure in the case of a complete clinical response under neoadjuvant therapy is increasingly being raised. The therapeutic principle of watch and wait, defined by refraining from immediate radical surgical resection and inclusion in a close-meshed, structured follow-up program, currently appears to be oncologically justifiable based on the current study situation; however, for the initial evaluation of the extent of the clinical response and for the structuring of the close-meshed follow-up program, further optimization and standardization based on broadly designed studies appear necessary in order to be able to provide this concept to a clearly defined patient collective as an oncologically equivalent therapy principle also outside specialized centers.</p>","PeriodicalId":50700,"journal":{"name":"Chirurg","volume":"93 2","pages":"144-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39579675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
