Abstract:
Digital twins can aid surgeons in training and in performing interventions with greater awareness and precision. The range and variety of digital twins in surgery are described, and their use across perioperative care is discussed. While largely experimental, they are beginning to show promise for the enhancement of personalized, adaptive, and data-driven surgical care. Issues relevant to the greater adoption and deployment of digital twins are all considered.
