Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Surgical reports are usually written after a procedure and must often be reproduced from memory. Thus, this is an error-prone, and time-consuming task which increases the workload of physicians. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed and evaluated a software tool using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for semi-automatic intraoperative generation of surgical reports for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
