Artificial Intelligence in Plastic Surgery

This book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping plastic surgery by enhancing clinical care, research, and practice management. Across subspecialties like burn care, reconstructive surgery, and aesthetics, AI is enabling more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and greater surgical precision. Predictive tools assist in wound healing, while advanced imaging and planning software improve both outcomes and patient satisfaction. In aesthetic procedures, AI helps simulate body contouring and facial changes, tailoring interventions to individual needs.

Beyond the operating room, AI is accelerating research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, helping translate lab discoveries into clinical advances more efficiently. The book also shows how AI can streamline practice management, from scheduling and financial operations to personalized patient outreach based on data insights. Special chapters highlight how robotics and big data are redefining surgical practice. AI-enhanced robotic systems support minimally invasive procedures with increased accuracy, while large-scale data analysis enables trend forecasting and highly individualized care.

The authors also offer a rigorous look at the ethical and regulatory landscape of AI in healthcare, including challenges such as algorithmic transparency, patient data protection, and compliance with emerging frameworks. These insights are crucial for safe and sustainable integration. This book is essential reading for plastic surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals looking to understand and apply AI meaningfully. Whether you’re focused on patient care or practice innovation, the book offers a forward-thinking guide to the future of plastic surgery.
