Discussion:
We have discussed the different forms of AI, prior research on AI, its advantages and disadvantages, potential challenges and the future of AI application in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN). We address current AI uses in OBGYN, and the use of AI as a tool to interpret FHR and CTG to aid in the detection of preterm labor, pregnancy complications, and reduce discrepancies in its interpretation between readers to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. AI systems can be used a tool to create algorithms identifying asymptomatic women with short cervical length who are at risk of preterm birth. Additionally, the benefits of using the vast data capacity of AI storage can assist in determining risk factors for preterm labor using multiomics and extensive genomic data. In the field of gynecological surgery, the use of augmented reality helps surgeons detect vital structures, thus decreasing complications, reducing operative-time, and helping surgeons in training to practice in a realistic setting. The use of 3-dimensional printers uses materials that mimic real tissues and also helps trainees to practice on a realistic model. Furthermore, 3D imaging allows better depth perception than its 2D counterpart, allowing the surgeon to create preoperative plans according to tissue depth and dimensions. Although AI has some limitations, this new technology can improve the prognosis and management of patients, reduce healthcare costs, and help OBGYN practitioners to reduce their workload and increase their efficiency and accuracy by incorporating AI systems into their daily practice.
