Journal Review in Hernia Surgery: Artificial Intelligence and Hernia Outcome Prediction

Nov 13, 2023, 10:00 AM

Join the Hernia Team from Carolinas Medical Center as they discuss applications of artificial intelligence in predicting outcomes for patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstruction. Emerging technologies are allowing us to understand hernia patients who are at risk for increased surgical complexity and postoperative complications – find out more in this Journal Review episode.

Hosts:
  • Dr. Sullivan “Sully” Ayuso, Chief Resident, Carolinas Medical Center, @SAyusoMD 
  •  Dr. Todd Heniford, Chief of GI & MIS, Carolinas Medical Center, @THeniford 
  •  Dr. Vedra Augenstein, Professor of Surgery, Carolinas Medical Center, @VedraAugenstein 
  • Dr. Monica Polcz, Attending Surgeon, Baptist Health (FL) 
Learning Objectives:
  • Provide and introduction to artificial intelligence
  • Develop an understanding of the applications of artificial intelligence in surgical outcome prediction for patients undergoing hernia repair
  • Learn how risk stratification of hernia patients can affect their care
