Key result
AI demonstrates utility across preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of microvascular free flap reconstruction.
Why the study?
Reliable planning, execution, and postoperative monitoring in microvascular free flap reconstruction are essential to optimize outcomes, and artificial intelligence has been increasingly applied across these stages.
Artificial intelligence shows promise in augmenting preoperative planning, intraoperative assessment, and postoperative monitoring for free flap microvascular reconstruction.
Reliable planning, execution, and postoperative monitoring in microvascular free flap reconstruction are essential to optimize clinical outcomes. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated value in several applications to clinical medicine and surgery, including image analysis and simulation, outcomes modeling, and evaluation of large datasets. Within microvascular reconstruction, artificial intelligence has been increasingly applied to preoperative planning, intraoperative decision making, and postoperative monitoring. The present paper aims to review salient applications to each. The authors conclude by suggesting areas suitable for future analysis.
