Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming many healthcare fields including pediatric urology. This in-depth review explores recent advances in AI tools for pediatric urology, emphasizing how state-of-the-art technologies can be used to enhance patient treatment. An initial overview of pediatric urology is given to provide context for this interdisciplinary field and the wide spectrum of problems this entails, before discussing potential uses of AI to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and surgical results. AI-powered predictive models are already changing pediatric clinical practice by guiding interpretation of medical images and supporting decision making. In addition to outlining the aims, methods, and conclusions of previous studies on AI applications in pediatric urology, this review also highlights knowledge gaps and priority areas for future study. Particular focus is given to specialized surgeries such pyeloplasty, where AI-guided treatment may help overcome specific technical challenges of this complex procedure. Also highlighted are practical, ethical, and legal aspects of integrating AI into pediatric urology, which will be crucial for responsible innovation in patient-centered treatment. Overall, this article aims to enlighten and inspire clinicians, researchers, and other healthcare stakeholders by offering insight into the future of AI in pediatric urology.
