Abstract

In recent years, the continuous optimization of minimally invasive surgical instruments and equipment for liver procedures, coupled with advancements in surgeons' technical expertise and theoretical frameworks, has propelled the personalized and precision-oriented concepts of hepatic minimally invasive surgery into the spotlight. This field is now rapidly advancing toward innovation-driven high-quality development. The precision of hepatic minimally invasive surgery can be enhanced through three key approaches: (1) During the operation, developing AI-powered and big data-driven computer models to improve lesion detection rates, diagnostic accuracy, and enable precise prognosis prediction. (2) Intraoperative integration of stereotactic imaging technology, artificial intelligence, and molecular fluorescence imaging for real-time multimodal navigation during procedures. (3) Postoperative application of AI-guided predictive models to forecast patient recovery trajectories. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in 3D imaging, computer vision, and AI technologies, the field of hepatic minimally invasive surgery is poised for accelerated development in the near future.
