Next-Generation Surgery: Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Technologies, Bioengineering and Rehabilitation...

Surgery has undergone a transformation in recent decades, from open operations to minimally invasive surgery. Significant advancements in technologies like robotic and minimally invasive techniques have led to better outcomes. However, simply enhancing anatomical knowledge and surgical skills has left the field of surgery stuck in a rut. Challenges like cost, training, patient safety, ethics, and global disparities persist. In the knowledge-explosion era, surgical methods have been advanced by the integration of multidisciplinary cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), genetic technologies, bioengineering, and elaborative rehabilitation scheme. Surgeons can more effectively and efficiently handle complicated clinical difficulties, optimize surgical operations, and provide individualized therapies by utilizing the combined power of these technologies, paving the way for reshaping contemporary surgical practices. Here, we overview how these key technological advancements have brought about the advent of "next-generation surgery."
