Abstract

BACKGROUND: Clinical decision-making in gastrointestinal surgery is complex due to the unpredictability of tumoral behavior and postoperative complications. Artificial intelligence (AI) could aid in clinical decision-making by predicting these surgical outcomes. The current status of AI-based clinical decision-making within gastrointestinal surgery is unknown in recent literature. This review aims to provide an overview of AI models used for clinical decision-making within gastrointestinal surgery.
