Following PRISMA-ScR guidance, this scoping review searched EMBASE, PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, SCOPUS, and Cochrane plus citation searching, and from 252 records included 12 studies, of which only 3 provided original data (one urology primary study, one urology expert commentary, and one narrative review with hand surgery survey data), with the remainder mostly narrative reviews whose cited evidence largely came from nonsurgical specialties, indicating that empirical research on ambient dictation AI in surgical specialties remains sparse.
