Surgical Data Science -- from Concepts toward Clinical Translation

Understand

Recent developments in data science in general and machine learning in particular have transformed the way experts envision the future of surgery.

• Surgical Data Science (SDS) is a new research field that aims to improve the quality of interventional healthcare through the capture, organization, analysis and modeling of data.
• While an increasing number of data-driven approaches and clinical applications have been studied in the fields of radiological and clinical data science, translational success stories are still lacking in surgery.
• In this publication, we shed light on the underlying reasons and provide a roadmap for future advances in the field.
