Graph-Enhanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Postoperative Patient Question Answering: A Comparative Evaluation of Knowledge Graph, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and Hybrid GraphRAG Approaches
Background: Reliable access to postoperative guidance between clinic visits remains inconsistent, and the usefulness of large language models depends on how clinical knowledge is structured and retrieved. Knowledge graph-only (KG-only), vector retrieval-augmented generation (RAG-only), and hybrid graph-retrieval (Graph...
