The possibility of using artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases (review)

Purpose: to analyze the information available in the literature on the effectiveness of the use of artificial intelligence (Al) in the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases. To write the review, databases were studied: PubMed, MEDLINE, Cohrane Library, eLibrary using keywords: neural network modeling, artificial neural networks, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, urology, oncourology, urolithiasis, prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia, bladder cancer. Search depth: from 1994 to 2021. The number of analyzed sources is 32. The presented review demonstrates the effective use of Al in many areas of urology and oncourology, however, the use of Al in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia is currently extremely limited. The study of these meta-analyses and randomized trials indicates the need to useAl to treat patients with benign prostate hyperplasia to improve the results of surgical interventions by forming a personalized approach.
