Can AI Answer My Questions? Utilizing Artificial Intelligence in the Perioperative Assessment for Abdominoplasty Patients.

BACKGROUND: Abdominoplasty is a common operation, used for a range of cosmetic and functional issues, often in the context of divarication of recti, significant weight loss, and after pregnancy. Despite this, patient-surgeon communication gaps can hinder informed decision-making. The integration of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare offers potential for enhancing patient information. This ...

Testing Machine Learning Models to Predict Postoperative Ileus after Colorectal Surgery.

Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after colorectal surgery, leading to increased hospital stay and costs. This study aimed to explore patient comorbidities that contribute to the development of POI in the colorectal surgical population and compare machine learning (ML) model accuracy to existing risk instruments. In a retrospective study, data were collected on 316 adult patient...
