aceArtificial Intelligence in Plastic and Hand Surgery – Potential or Provocation?
Introduction: Surgical specialities like plastic and hand surgery, which depend on precision, aesthetic, and functional outcomes, are integrating AI, creating potential and challenges. AI is rapidly transforming clinical procedures, requiring evaluation of its potential to improve clinical care and the challenges it faces. This narrative review critically evaluates the clinical applications, emerging innovations, and ethical challenges of AI in plastic and hand surgery, synthesising evidence on both its transfor…
AI tools are being applied in plastic and hand surgery to classify skin lesions, evaluate aesthetics, and automate operative documentation, with further advances reported in microsurgery, simulation and rehabilitation.
Use of AI in plastic and hand surgery still faces data bias, limited model interpretability, and unresolved liability and privacy concerns.
The source is a narrative review rather than a quantified trial, and it reports no measured effect sizes. It names data bias, limited interpretability, liability and privacy as challenges that remain unresolved.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2161 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
