Artificial intelligence is becoming a new helper for doctors who need to act fast in surgery. Researchers gathered all the studies that show how AI can support surgeons when patients are at risk or when operations happen. They looked closely at tools that predict danger before the operation and those that give advice during surgery. The review also explored why hospitals may not use these AI tools yet. It highlighted problems like lack of clear rules, worries about patient privacy and the need for big amounts of data to train the models.
In addition, the paper examined how doctors feel about using AI in urgent care. Some surgeons think it could reduce mistakes, while others fear that machines might replace their judgment or create new types of errors. The team concluded that more tests are needed in real‑world settings before AI can be trusted widely. They suggest that clear guidelines and stronger data protection laws will help bring these tools into everyday practice. Finally, the authors called for a partnership between tech developers, clinicians and regulators to make sure AI is safe, fair and useful for patients who need emergency surgery.
