Surgical Information Assistant: an agentic information retrieval system for surgical information and a benchmark dataset

2025-05-21

Abstract excerpt

We present the Surgical Information Assistant, an agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system designed to improve access to surgical knowledge in resource-constrained settings. Built on the Open Manual of Surgery for Resource-Limited Settings, the assistant uses a retrieval-method we call DeRetSyn (Decom-pose–Retrieve–Synthesize). We evaluate DeRetSyn using automated metrics and partial human validation ac...
