Objective:
To determine the impact of ChatGPT in plastic surgery research and assess the authenticity of such contributions.
Methods:
The study conducted a literature search in Sep'23 from databases like Pubmed, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, and OVID Medline.The following keywords 'ChatGPT', 'chatbot', 'reconstruction', 'aesthetic' and 'plastic surgery' were used. 32 papers were included from the initial 131 results of articles. English language articles from November 2022 to July 2023 discussing ChatGPT's role in plastic and aesthetic surgery were included whereas non-English documents, irrelevant content, and non-academic sources were excluded from the study.
Results:
The manuscripts included in the systematic review had a diverse range, including original research articles, case reports, letters to the editor, and editorials. Among the included studies, there were 9 original research articles, 1 case report, 23 letters to the editor, and 2 editorials. Most publications originated from the United States (18) and Australia (7). Analysis suggested concerns, such as inaccuracies, plagiarism, outdated knowledge, and lack of personalized advice. Various authors recommend using ChatGPT as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for human decision-making in medicine.
Conclusions:
ChatGPT shows potential in plastic surgery research, concerns about inaccuracies and outdated knowledge may provide deceiving information and it always requires human input and verification.
