Abstract:
Due to the inherently complex anatomical structure and physiological charac-teristics of the biliary system, biliary surgery faces considerable challenges in key stages such as preoperative planning, intraoperative identification, and postoperative management. These challenges contribute to a persistently high incidence of complications, severely affecting patient prognosis and overall survival. In recent years, with the continued advancement of interdisciplinary integration between medicine and engineering, intelligent digital technologies, centered on digital medicine, big data, and medical artificial intelligence, have been increasingly applied in the field of biliary surgery, offering new solutions to these longstanding problems. The authors systematically review recent advances and clinical applications of intelligent digital technologies in biliary surgery, and explore the evolution from clinical needs to technological innovation and practical implementation. The aim is to facilitate the transition of biliary surgery from an experience-based approach to an intelligent and precision-driven paradigm, thereby improving surgical safety and patient outcomes.
