While machine learning (ML) has already made substantial strides in diagnostic areas, such as radiology and pathology, its role in surgery is an emerging frontier. This narrative review examines the current literature on artificial intelligence (AI) and ML applications in general surgery, with a particular focus on their ability to support clinical decision-making, streamline surgical workflows, and improve patient outcomes. Key topics explored include predicting discharge dates, assessing preoperative risk for both elective and emergency surgeries, and the innovative use of AI in resident education and simulation training. By evaluating these developments, the practical challenges, ethical concerns, and future prospects of integrating AI into surgical practice were discussed. Ultimately, this review highlights the transformative potential of AI and ML in surgery, suggesting that these technologies will play a key role in enhancing care quality and the professional growth of surgeons.</span></span></span></span></div> Artificial Intelligence (AI), General Surgery, Machine Learning (ML) 46 54 http://jsurgery.bums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-454-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Abolfazl Torabi torabi.a1999@gmail.com 100319475328460011069 100319475328460011069 No Medical Student, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mohammad Ehsan Bayatpoor ehsanbayatpoor@yahoo.com 100319475328460011070 100319475328460011070 No General Surgery Department, Modarres Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Nasim Nouri nasiimnourii@gmail.com 100319475328460011071 0009-0003-1100-6328 No Medical Student, School of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Maryam Abbasi maryamabbasi@sbmu.ac.ir 100319475328460011072 100319475328460011072 No General Surgery Department, Modarres Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Nasser Malekpour Alamdari nassermalekpour@sbmu.ac.ir 100319475328460011073 100319475328460011073 Yes Critical Care Quality Improvement Research Center, Shahid Modarres Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
