Abstract
Background: SARS-CoV-2 has significantly transformed the healthcare environment, and it has triggered the development of electronic health and artificial intelligence mechanisms, for instance. In this overview, we concentrated on enhancing the two concepts in surgery after the pandemic, and we examined the factors on a global scale. Objective: The primary goal of this scoping review is to elaborate on how surgeons have used eHealth and AI before; during; and after the current global pandemic. More specifically, this review focuses on the empowerment of the concepts of electronic health and artificial intelligence after the pandemic; which mainly depend on the efforts of countries to advance the notions of surgery. Design: The use of an online search engine was the most applied method. The publication years of all the studies included in the study ranged from 2013 to 2021. Out of the reviewed studies; forty-four qualified for inclusion in the review. Discussion: We evaluated the prevalence of the concepts in different continents such as the United States; Europe; Asia; the Middle East; and Africa. Our research reveals that the success of eHealth and artificial intelligence adoption primarily depends on the efforts of countries to advance the notions in surgery. Conclusions: The study’s primary limitation is insufficient information on eHealth and artificial intelligence concepts; particularly in developing nations. Future research should focus on establishing methods of handling eHealth and AI challenges around confidentiality and data security.
Highlights
Boogerd et al state that electronic health has gained popularity over the last ten years, but scholars are yet to reach a consensus concerning the definition of the term [1].Baker, Gustafson, and Shah stated that the transformations in the eHealth domain had challenged the way researchers conduct studies, which has led to the establishment of efficient publications [2]

Summary
Boogerd et al state that electronic health has gained popularity over the last ten years, but scholars are yet to reach a consensus concerning the definition of the term [1].Baker, Gustafson, and Shah stated that the transformations in the eHealth domain had challenged the way researchers conduct studies, which has led to the establishment of efficient publications [2]. Van der Kleij et al argue that eHealth represents an enhanced state of mind and attitude towards advancing healthcare delivery through the use of information and technical messages [4]. SARS-CoV-2 has significantly transformed the healthcare environment, and it has triggered the development of electronic health and artificial intelligence mechanisms, for instance. In this overview, we concentrated on enhancing the two concepts in surgery after the pandemic, and we examined the factors on a global scale. This review focuses on the empowerment of the concepts of electronic health and artificial intelligence after the pandemic; which mainly depend on the efforts of countries to advance the notions of surgery.
