Abstrakt: Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasing role in several fields of medicine. It is also gaining popularity among surgeons as a valuable screening and diagnostic tool for many conditions such as benign and malignant colorectal, gastric, thyroid, parathyroid, and breast disorders. In the literature, there is no review that groups together the various application domains of AI when it comes to the screening and diagnosis of main surgical diseases. The aim of this review is to describe the use of AI in these settings. We performed a literature review by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase for all studies investigating the role of AI in the surgical setting, published between January 01, 2000, and June 30, 2023. Our focus was on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), meta-analysis, systematic reviews, and observational studies, dealing with large cohorts of patients. We then gathered further relevant studies from the reference list of the selected publications. Based on the studies reviewed, it emerges that AI could strongly enhance the screening efficiency, clinical ability, and diagnostic accuracy for several surgical conditions. Some of the future advantages of this technology include implementing, speeding up, and improving the automaticity with which AI recognizes, differentiates, and classifies the various conditions.
