Artificial intelligence has become more prominently integrated into medicine in a variety of ways since the turn of the century. One area where AI has recently been adopted is in surgical specialties. Although its roles have primarily been on the periphery, AI is now being included in surgical cases through a variety of applications.

I have witnessed the increased use by physicians of on Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine rotations to a very meaningful end. DaxCopilot is an AI software that records conversations and transcribes them into a useful template of a doctor's note, which can then be edited. This usefulness fuels the opportunity to encourage better patient interactions by taking physicians from behind computer screens to in front of their patients. It is also quite handy for physicians’ post-visit annotations, as some practices see a large patient volume; this tool can help doctors remember important details and stay on schedule.

This software also plays a role in procedures, as with Gastroenterology. The pre-op consent forms are physically filled out and also recorded in the post-op note to document that all risks were discussed with the patient.

When conversing with Samantha Przybelski, DO '23, a General Surgery Resident, she stated that the most artificial intelligence she witnesses on a daily basis is in “artificial intelligence’s use with the Da Vinci Machines for robotic procedures. The software is used during actual procedures to align laparoscopic tools when changing arms for real-time guidance.” 

Other ways Dr. Przybelski noted were for assistance with reading radiology results called , but those readings must still be reviewed and checked by a radiologist. Thus, artificial intelligence software is useful, but primarily as a supplemental tool to the physician’s training.

Overall, artificial intelligence has been increasingly incorporated into procedural medicine in various ways, from preoperative consultations and imaging to the procedures themselves. While quite helpful, AI is still limited by the effectiveness of the software and should be considered just another tool—not, by any stretch of the imagination, a replacement for any aspect of procedural medicine.
