Surgical procedures are complex in nature and operative time is subject to variability influenced by many factors. Accurate estimation of the surgical operation duration not only helps to maximize Operation rooms’ efficiency, but also helps to optimize hospital resources which are a crucial factor in planning surgical procedures. In this regard, Al techniques such as machine learning and deep learning promise to significantly improve the duration estimation by identifying hidden factors and make more accurate prediction. They achieve this success by identifying latent factors which are generally hard to be explored by human intelligence. Eventually, accuracy in time estimation added to a good scheduling optimization leads to make more efficient utilization of hospital resources by better aligning Operation Room, relevant equipment, and human resources. This study addresses the recent trends in research on surgical operations duration estimation, considering the relevant factors.
