Introduction

Artificial intelligence and augmented reality are transforming precision surgery by improving visualization, surgical planning, and intraoperative decision-making. Together, these technologies enable more accurate, personalized, and data-driven procedures while supporting improved patient outcomes and greater efficiency across a range of surgical specialties.

AI-Enhanced Augmented Reality in Precision Surgery provides a comprehensive overview of the integration of AI and AR in contemporary surgical practice. The book examines AI-powered medical imaging, surgical planning, real-time augmented reality guidance, robotics-assisted interventions, and adaptive AI-AR systems for personalized care. It also explores ethical considerations, cybersecurity, regulatory frameworks, and emerging trends, supported by practical case studies that demonstrate clinical applications and future directions in precision surgery.
