The Current State of Artificial Intelligence for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

We review recent literature on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Many researchers have explored application of AI-based technologies for diagnosis and management of disease, prediction of treatment responses, and optimization of surgery and workflows. The latest research in urology is replete with AI-focused studies. However, AI applications in BPH have not been well established. Although many researchers have started to touch on key areas of interest, further research is necessary to fully elucidate the potential benefits of AI for patients with BPH. The development and implementation of standardized guidelines for model reporting and external validation are essential prerequisites for widespread adoption of AI within urology and across medicine in general.

Patient summary

This mini review looks at how artificial intelligence AI) may help doctors in treating men with a large prostate gland. AI tools may help in picking treatments, improving surgery, and helping doctors to work faster, but not enough is known yet. More studies are needed before these tools can be routinely used to help patients.
