Abstract

This editorial announces the need for a consensus conference on definitions of surgical nomenclature, which is evolving due to the introduction of non-human (hardware, software) devices and applications, including robotics. A recently created entity, the Artificial Intelligence Organization for Next Generation Surgeons (AIONS), comprised primarily of AIS editorial board members, has proposed updated definitions on the following terms: surgery, endoluminal surgery, percutaneous surgery, robots, robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), remote surgery, artificial intelligence surgery (AIS), robotic surgery, surgomics, non-invasive surgery. These definitions will be discussed during a Consensus Conference on Definitions of Artificial Intelligence, Surgery, Surgomics and Robotics, which is scheduled for February 12, 2025.
