Applications of artificial intelligence in benign prostatic hyperplasia

The advancement of computational abilities has taken us from the days of machines performing simple, one-dimensional tasks to themselves learning and applying knowns to unknowns. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become integral in daily life, yet there is vast room for application in surgery. Cancer research can divert attention from more prevalent benign diseases which may equally cause a significant impact on quality of life. Here we review recent advancements in the field of AI for diagnostics, management, and prognostication of benign prostatic hyperplasia, evaluating the strengths and limitations of these approaches with implications for future research.
