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 across 14,500 synthesized question-answer pairs and find that it achieves 63% top-1 a...
