AI
Top Docs tell us how artificial intelligence is being used in their fields
Orthopedic Surgery
“AI offers the potential to transform orthopedic care. It can improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and surgical outcomes. For instance, I can utilize a patient’s CT scan in conjunction with AI to accurately verify the amount of bone to be removed during a hip preservation procedure. Another application includes determining the size and location of shoulder replacement implants — specific to each patient. We apply evidence-based research to find the best fit for every individual. It’s also exciting how educated my patients are when they present for an appointment. … AI has enabled patients to type complex questions into a search engine and obtain a research-backed response.”
— Diana R. Silas, D.O., Ascension Michigan
Oncology
“It is now integrated into diagnostic testing and treatment pathways in GU [genitourinary] oncology. For instance, AI can assist in determining treatment decisions for prostate cancer by analyzing complex datasets. The primary benefit is that it enhances efficiency and accuracy in patient care. However, a significant challenge is the necessity for proper utilization; like any tool, incorrect use can lead to adverse outcomes.”
— Elisabeth Heath, M.D., Detroit Medical Center, Karmanos Cancer Institute, McLaren Health Care
Cardiac Surgery
“Do not worry — an AI-powered robot is not about to do your heart surgery anytime soon! I am very excited about the future of AI to help the patient and surgeon make informed decisions about the best path forward. One of the most difficult parts of my job is to figure out who would benefit from an operation and when the best time is to offer surgery. I envision a (near) future where AI will be able to look at a patient’s whole medical history and in real time compare it with the data of a large population as well as thousands of clinical trials that have already been performed. Then, we can take that information and determine if surgery or a nonsurgical approach will yield the best outcomes in the long term for the patient.”
— Kyle G. Miletic, M.D., Henry Ford Health
Colon and Rectal Surgery
“Though still in its infancy, AI is a promising new tool in colorectal surgery. By analyzing CT scans, MRIs, and colonoscopies, AI might one day help doctors better understand a patient’s condition. This technology could lead to more-personalized treatment plans and improved decision-making about potential surgical risks and outcomes. Additionally, AI has the potential to enhance the capabilities of the robotic surgery systems we use in the operating room. Finally, by helping us optimize recovery plans, AI might one day contribute to better patient outcomes, building on our experience with enhanced recovery pathways.”
— Robert K. Cleary, M.D., Trinity Health Michigan
Bariatric Surgery
“AI is increasingly being integrated into bariatric and general surgery to improve outcomes, enhance precision, and streamline processes. AI algorithms analyze patient data to predict surgical outcomes, identify risks, and tailor pre-op plans. For bariatric surgery patients, we can predict weight loss outcomes and their individual surgical risk based on their specific characteristics. For robotic surgery, AI-driven systems assist by providing enhanced visualization, precision, and control. This technology can help with suturing, tissue manipulation, and navigation, leading to reduced complication rates and improved efficiency for surgeons. The newer robotic-systems AI technology provides objective indicators based on how the surgeon operates and can provide suggestions based on movements, energy use, and timing. Basically, it can tell the surgeon what they are doing well and how they can improve. AI technology also analyzes large datasets to identify trends, outcomes, and best practices in bariatric surgery, which helps in advancing research, developing new techniques, and improving overall patient care. We are always trying to improve the care we provide, and AI is helping us do so.”

What do you think of TikTok, as it relates to medicine?
TikTok and other social media platforms have become mainstream, and many patients use them to gain information. When used appropriately, these platforms can be valuable for disseminating important health information, such as cancer screening recommendations. However, similar to AI, there is a significant amount of misinformation, so caution is necessary. These platforms can initiate patient conversations and inquiries about their findings, but it is crucial [for doctors who use TikTok] to present information in a concise, accurate, and engaging manner to effectively capture and retain the audience’s interest.
What advice do you give patients to help them live a longer, healthier life?
I recommend eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, and getting quality sleep. Managing stress and keeping up with regular health screenings are also important. Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol can further enhance overall health and longevity.

Michael Cools, M.D. — Pediatric Neurosurgery
Ascension Michigan
Children’s Hospital of Michigan
Detroit Medical Center
What advice do you give parents about keeping their kids safe from injury or worse?
In kids, the most common causes of death and disability are trauma and accidents. At Children’s Hospital of Michigan, we focus on injury prevention, including emphasizing wearing helmets when riding bikes or scooters, keeping firearms locked up and ammunition locked in a separate location, and ensuring children are not alone around water. Additionally, we discuss the importance of making sure children are properly restrained when riding in vehicles.
If a child needs surgery, we focus on getting them back to being active as quickly as possible. We know how important it is for lifelong health for kids to be involved in sports and exercise, so once kids have recovered from surgery, we encourage a gradual return to sports and other activities as healing permits.
What are some recent innovations in your field that you’re excited about?
The field of pediatric neurosurgery is constantly advancing, and we are always looking for ways to treat children with less-invasive procedures by investing in technological advancements and state-of-the-art equipment. Some great examples of this at Children’s Hospital of Michigan are the use of laser therapy to treat focal seizures, which previously would require a much larger surgery, or our ability to treat hydrocephalus using a flexible endoscope, which reduces the need for additional surgeries.

Diana Silas, D.O. — Orthopedic Surgery
Ascension Michigan
What advice do you give patients to help them live a longer, healthier life?
Regular physical activity, including cardio and strength training, is crucial. A goal of movement every day is a great start! In orthopedics, we offer both surgical and nonsurgical options to allow patients to remain active and pain-free.
Here are some key practices to consider: Maintaining a balanced, noninflammatory diet. [Getting] quality sleep on a consistent schedule is also essential. Staying hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. Avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. [Having] regular health checkups and preventive health care. Cultivating strong social connections and a supportive community. Lastly, maintaining a positive outlook and mental resilience can contribute to a longer, healthier existence. Combining these habits can significantly enhance not only the length of life but the quality as well.

What are some recent innovations in your field that you’re excited about?
We are pushing forward to adapt more and more operations to a minimally invasive approach, giving our patients the best of both worlds — the long-term benefits that only surgery can provide with fewer of the drawbacks like longer recovery. Also, for patients with heart failure, we can offer better therapies — from improved long-term heart pumps to better outcomes with heart transplants that can give patients decades of life that they would not otherwise have.

Amy Somerset, M.D. — Bariatric Surgery
Detroit Medical Center
What advice do you give patients to help them live a longer, healthier life?
As a bariatric surgeon, my practice focuses heavily on obesity medicine and nutrition. Obesity is associated with multiple cancers in addition to diabetes, joint pain, high blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, and shorter life spans. There are multiple treatments for overweight and obesity, including surgical and nonsurgical options; however, proper nutrition is critical for all treatment plans. For patients of all weights, nutrition is the key for maintaining a healthy weight and providing energy. I do appreciate the old adage “You are what you eat.” Nutrition affects mental well-being [and] can reduce the risk of depression and anxiety, ’s, and many other health conditions. Nutrition truly is the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. For all patients, we recommend reducing high-glycemic-index foods, processed foods, high-fat or high-sugar foods. Reducing alcohol intake and liquid calories is also important. For most patients, a high-protein and high-fiber diet is beneficial. Your body needs the proper fuel to function at its best.
How important is sleep, and in what ways does insufficient sleep affect your patients’ health?
When we’re asleep, our bodies are recharging and our brains are getting rid of waste. Sleeping is important for immune function, mental health, and metabolic regulation. Obesity medicine is a large part of my practice, and sleep deprivation can lead to increased hunger, inability to lose weight, or weight gain. Poor sleep leads to poor choices, like lack of exercise and unhealthy foods. As a bariatric surgeon, I have many patients with prediabetes or diabetes, and so I emphasize the importance of sleep for glycemic control. Many of my patients also have sleep apnea, which also contributes to poor sleep. I think it is essential that patients are tested appropriately for sleep disorders, like sleep apnea or chronic insomnia, and treated appropriately to enhance their sleep. Good sleep means sleeping long enough and deeply enough. For all patients of all ages and all sizes, we emphasize the need for adequate sleep hygiene to optimize body and brain health. We all know when we’re sleep deprived we can become irritable, have increased anxiety, decreased ability to learn, and generally don’t feel as well. Good sleep hygiene involves sleeping in a cool, dark room; going to bed at the same time each night; avoiding alcohol and smoking; avoiding caffeine after the morning; avoiding eating close to bedtime; eliminating noise; and avoiding long naps during the day and avoiding screen time from our TVs, laptops, phones, watches, and even checking the clock during the night. Exercising four to six hours before bedtime is most beneficial for good sleep.

Robert K. Cleary, M.D. — Colon and Rectal Surgery
Trinity Health Michigan
How important is sleep, and in what ways does insufficient sleep affect your patients’ health?
Sleep is a vital component of overall health and postsurgical recovery for my patients. For at least four weeks following surgery, sleep requirements are elevated. Insufficient sleep can negatively impact mental health and hinder the recovery process, delaying a patient’s return to their favorite activities.
What are some innovations in your field that you’re excited about?
Colon and rectal surgery is an innovative specialty with new and exciting treatment pathways that are constantly evolving. This is especially true in regard to robotic surgery, enhanced recovery, and the management of rectal cancer. Fifty percent of our rectal cancer patients no longer require rectal resection and colostomy because of advances in radiation and chemotherapy and our colorectal surgeon-led watch-and-wait program.
What advice do you give your patients to help them live a longer, healthier life?
It’s no secret but something I reinforce with my patients every day. A proper diet, exercise, and not smoking are the obvious pathways to longevity, as cardiovascular disease is still the No. 1 cause of death. Cancer screening adherence is also important. Getting a colonoscopy beginning at the recommended age, per guidelines, prevents colorectal cancer. The unfortunate reality is I still see patients with colorectal cancer who have never been screened with a colonoscopy. Be proactive in your health for yourself and your loved ones.

Monica Jiddou-Patros, M.D. — Cardiology
Corewell Health
How important is sleep, and in what ways does insufficient sleep affect your
patients’ health?
Sleep is very important to our health for many reasons. Getting enough sleep helps reduce stress and improves mood. It helps reduce hunger by producing more leptin, a natural appetite suppressor. Sleep is also the time our body repairs itself, strengthens our immune system, and builds new pathways in our brain. All of these things help improve our performance and overall well-being.
What advice do you give your patients to help them live a longer, healthier life?
From my experience as a practicing cardiologist the last 11 years, my patients who live the longest are the ones who keep moving and consistently use their brain. I advise patients to try to reduce stress, go for walks, spend time with family and friends, and do something like read [or] solve puzzles. All of these things have also been recommended to reduce the risk of developing dementia.

What are some recent innovations in your field that you’re excited about?
Congenital heart surgery is constantly evolving, even though the principles of caring for a child with congenital heart disease remain unchanged. The current advances in mechanical support devices to support a heart or physiology that is failing have transformed our ability to rescue a child with complex congenital heart disease. Similarly, the advances in transcatheter treatments are changing the way we think about managing congenital heart disease in our smallest patients. These paradigm shifts are helping us get better at caring for children and families with congenital heart disease.
