Abstract

BACKGROUND: Application of artificial intelligence (AI) in general surgery is evolving. Real-world implementation of an AI-based computer-vision model in laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is presented. We aimed to evaluate (1) its accuracy in complexity grading and safety adherence, (2) clinical correlation to outcomes.
