The development of an AI model to predict blood loss in liposuction is a “groundbreaking advancement” with the potential to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes, according to the new research, led by Mauricio E. Perez Pachon, MD, of Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., and Jose T. Santaella, MD, of CIMA Clinic-Loja, Ecuador.

“By leveraging the power of AI-driven predictive models, surgeons can tailor their interventions to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and minimizing the risk of complications such as excessive blood loss,” the researchers write.
