Special Issue introduction:
The advancement of research geared toward a more comprehensive understanding
of spinal conditions continually provides information about ever-evolving treatment
options. However, tailoring optimal treatment plans for individual patients is
intricate, often requiring a comprehensive consideration of their medical history and
individual characteristics. Furthermore, clinicians and researchers face difficulties
in accessing relevant data due to patient privacy concerns, hindering their seamless
integration with current guidelines and novel indices. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is
a technology that emulates human cognitive abilities through specialized programs
and computers. Its applications in everyday clinical practice include surgical robots
that enhance the precision of spinal surgeries and the prediction of patient outcomes
based on various radiographic, clinical, and surgical parameters. Additionally,
such systems can create virtual artificial patient populations mirroring real patient
characteristics. The purpose of this Special Issue is to explore the contributions and
merits of AI and to investigate the current state and future trends of AI in the field of
spinal surgery.
