Abstract

Surgical data science (SDS) aims to improve the quality of interventional healthcare and its value through the capture, organization, analysis, and modeling of procedural data. As data capture has increased and artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced, SDS can help to unlock augmented and automated coaching, feedback, assessment, and decision support in surgery. We review major concepts in SDS and AI as applied to surgical education and surgical oncology.
