Tackling the complexity of surgical research requires innovative approaches, and one promising avenue is the modeling of surgical interventions. This abstract delves into why and how surgical modeling is shaping the future of surgery, presenting a compelling case for its vital role in healthcare advancement. From the intriguing realm of computational models, including Virtual Reality (VR) simulations to the cutting-edge applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), we embark on a journey through the evolution, purposes, and types of surgical modeling. With an eye on historical perspectives, this presentation underscores the transformative potential of modeling surgical interventions for training, planning, and executing precise surgical procedures. The discussion extends to the meticulous process of data collection and the innovative use of various software platforms that enhance the fidelity and effectiveness of surgical simulations. Moreover, we explore the burgeoning field of patient-specific modeling, emphasizing its significance in tailoring surgical strategies to individual patient needs, thus heralding a new era of personalized medicine. By acknowledging the challenges and limitations yet remaining optimistic about overcoming these hurdles, we venture into the promising future directions of surgical modeling. This exploration not only highlights the critical importance of model validation against real-world outcomes but also sets the stage for a discussion on how the integration of emerging technologies could revolutionally transform surgical practices for the better.
