Published: April 2024

ChatGPT is revolutionizing hospital workflows by enhancing the precision and efficiency of tasks that were formerly the exclusive domain of healthcare professionals. Additionally, ChatGPT can aid in administrative duties, including appointment scheduling and billing, which enables healthcare professionals to allocate more time towards patient care. By shouldering some of these responsibilities, ChatGPT has the potential to advance the quality of patient care, streamline departmental efficiency, and lower healthcare costs. Nevertheless, it is crucial to strike a balance between the advantages of ChatGPT and the necessity of human interaction in healthcare to guarantee optimal patient care. While ChatGPT may assume some of the duties of physicians in particular medical domains, it cannot replace human doctors. Tackling the challenges and constraints associated with the integration of ChatGPT into the healthcare system is critical for its successful implementation.

Our research examines the learning curves of various minimally invasive lumbar surgeries to determine the benefits and challenges they pose to both surgeons and patients. The advent of microsurgical techniques since the 1960s, including advances in fluoroscopic navigation and intraoperative computed tomography, has significantly shifted spinal surgery from open to minimally invasive methods. This study critically evaluates surgical duration, intraoperative conversions to open surgery, and complications as primary parameters to gauge these learning curves.
