| Summary: | <p id="p1">Since its introduction to the general public, artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to grow in prominence, expanding to influence an increasing number of personal and professional domains. AI has become a key component to enhanced productivity, process optimization, and improved outcomes across a number of fields. Medicine and surgical specialties specifically are included in this. The process of implementing AI within medical settings has been somewhat slower, as it requires a significantly more deliberate and measured approach mainly due to the direct implications in bedside patient care. Plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) is a field characterized by a rich tradition of innovation and openness to new technology. Although surgical technique in PRS requires a high degree of precision and attention to detail, there is also significant room for creativity, interpretation, and even subjectivity, making PRS well suited to reap the potential benefits afforded by AI. This chapter will discuss current applications and developments of AI within the specialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Also included will be an overview of costs, limitations, and ethical concerns related to AI implementation, as well as a glimpse into potential future applications of AI as it pertains to plastic and reconstructive surgery.</p> |
