These tools allow for refinement and\/or reimagination of current tools aimed at predicting and optimizing outcomes in the perioperative period. In this section, we review AI and ML construction and implementation, the current state of predictive model use in surgical patients during the perioperative period, and discuss opportunities for integration into clinical care to optimize patients for surgery, improve perioperative patient care, and enable earlier detection of postoperative complications. We conclude with a discussion of limitations of AI and ML tools, along with points for consideration regarding their implementation in perioperative surgical care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2769-1109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T23:50:04Z","timestamp":1768261804000},"page":"194-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predicting Surgical Outcomes and Optimizing Patients for Surgery Using AI"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Neal","family":"Bhutiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Divisions of Surgical Oncology, Department of Surgery, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, United States"},{"name":"Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, United States"},{"name":"Division of Immunotherapy, Department of Surgery, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abhineet","family":"Uppal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2300219","DOI":"10.1200\/CCI.23.00219","article-title":"Automated, high-throughput platform to generate a high-reliability, comprehensive rectal cancer database","volume":"8","author":"N Bhutiani","year":"2024","journal-title":"JCO Clin Cancer Inform"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2342","DOI":"10.1007\/s11605-022-05443-5","article-title":"Development and validation of machine learning models to predict readmission after colorectal surgery","volume":"26","author":"K A Chen","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Gastrointest Surg"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-020-07378-x","article-title":"Development and validation of machine learning models to predict gastrointestinal leak and venous thromboembolism after weight loss surgery: An analysis of the MBSAQIP database","volume":"35","author":"J Nudel","year":"2021","journal-title":"Surg Endosc"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e35781","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0035781","article-title":"Comparison of artificial neural network and logistic regression models for predicting in-hospital mortality after primary liver cancer surgery","volume":"7","author":"H Y Shi","year":"2012","journal-title":"PLoS ONE"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1007\/s10151-022-02624-x","article-title":"Training prediction models for individual risk assessment of postoperative complications after surgery for colorectal cancer","volume":"26","author":"V Lin","year":"2022","journal-title":"Tech Coloproctol"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1843","DOI":"10.1007\/s11605-019-04338-2","article-title":"Use of machine learning for prediction of patient risk of postoperative complications after liver, pancreatic, and colorectal surgery","volume":"24","author":"K Merath","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Gastrointest Surg"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3742","DOI":"10.1097\/JS9.0000000000002372","article-title":"90-day mortality prediction in elective visceral surgery using machine learning: A retrospective multicenter development, validation, and comparison study","volume":"111","author":"C Riepe","year":"2025","journal-title":"Int J Surg"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1341","DOI":"10.1097\/DCR.0000000000003253","article-title":"Early postoperative prediction of complications and readmission after colorectal cancer surgery using an artificial neural network","volume":"67","author":"A Agnes","year":"2024","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1656","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejso.2020.03.206","article-title":"The impact of sarcopenia and myosteatosis on postoperative outcomes and 5-year survival in curatively operated colorectal cancer patients -
