Abstract

Background: Use of artificial intelligence (AI) in surgical practice is gaining attention globally, but the ethics of use in pediatric surgery within low-resource settings remains unexplored. This study assessed the experiences of Nigerian pediatric surgeons, their ethical concerns, perceived challenges, and training needs regarding integration of AI. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted among consultant pediatric surgeons and senior residents in Nigeria using KoboToolbox. The survey explored demographics, AI use, ethical concerns, and regulatory preferences. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results: =45, 51.1%) of participants chose the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria as the body that should lead ethical regulation of AI in Nigeria. Conclusions: The use of AI in pediatric surgery in Nigeria is uncommon and mostly academic. Key ethical concerns include accountability and consent requiring clear regulation and structured training programs.
