Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly change how we provide patient care. Most patients and their families are supportive of using AI in the surgical field. However, the medical community still faces challenges in using AI in healthcare. This study aimed to assess the perspectives of a neurosurgical team for using AI in neurosurgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was distributed through social media. It was designed to gather the perspectives of the surgical team, including neurosurgeons, anesthetists, nurses, and operating room practitioners, on using AI in neurosurgery. Participants’ agreement and comfort levels with real-world AI implementation were measured using a 5-point Likert scale.
Results: The neurosurgery team of 43 eligible participants completed the study survey. Responders somewhat agreed or strongly agreed about AI being used for imaging interpretation (51.2%), preoperative evaluation (65.1%), surgical team collaboration (60.6%), real-time hazard and complication alert (58.2%), autonomous surgery (53.5), postoperative and follow up care (72.1%).
Conclusion: The survey in this study indicates that most neurosurgeons and the broader surgical team agree with and feel comfortable utilizing AI in neurosurgery. The study’s findings could help develop new strategies for improving AI-based healthcare.
