9:45am MED Talk II: Real-World Surgical Intelligence: How AI is Transforming Practice, Training, and Documentation
Ishai Levin, MD, MBA, BPharm
Course Description: Highlighting the transition from theory to real-world practice, this talk explores how AI and computer vision are already revolutionizing gynecologic surgery in the field. Current, real-world surgical intelligence applications are presented to illustrate the transformative potential of incorporating intraoperative video into daily workflows, enabled by routine, automated video capture and storage, AI-based structuring, and EHR integration. Attendees will discover how intraoperative visibility, finally made possible by these foundational technologies, is helping surgeons improve procedural performance, advancing education and training, and promoting quality. The talk emphasizes the role of AI in data-driven learning, enabling precise feedback, benchmarking, and refining evidence-based practice. Attendees will also learn how AI supports video-based operative reporting - addressing blind spots in traditional documentation - and facilitates impactful clinical research. Through key use cases and outcomes, we tackle obstacles to adoption and provide a forward-looking perspective on how AI drives safety, efficiency, and excellence in gynecologic surgery.
Learning Objectives: After attending this session, the participant will be able to: 1) Recognize the need for and merits of routine, automated video capture and AI-based structuring in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery; 2) Describe real-world applications of AI and computer vision technologies that are currently transforming surgery and impacting women's health; and 3) Explain how existing AI and computer vision technologies are applied to advance specific areas in surgery, including quality assurance, education and training, documentation, and clinical research.
