- Global surgery is an expanding field aimed at improving equitable surgical care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and addresses issues like inadequate surgical systems that contribute to 18 million preventable deaths annually.
- The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in global surgery can enhance educational tools, streamline administrative tasks, and enable virtual assistance in surgeries, potentially improving surgical accessibility and outcomes in LMICs.
- However, challenges such as bias in AI data, human resistance, and uncertainty about job security need to be addressed for AI to be effectively and fairly implemented in enhancing surgical services.
