PURPOSE: Bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a dreaded complication. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been introduced in surgery. This systematic review aims to investigate whether AI can guide surgeons in identifying anatomical structures to facilitate safer dissection during LC.
