Levita Magnetics Achieves AI-Guided Autonomous Surgery Milestone
Levita Magnetics has successfully conducted the world's first AI-guided autonomous gall bladder surgery using its MARS platform at Clínica Las Condes in Santiago, Chile, announced in a press release. This landmark procedure highlights the integration of artificial intelligence in surgical technology, enhancing precision and efficiency.
The MARS platform employs an AI-guided autonomous surgical camera, which reduces the need for manual camera control, providing surgeons with a stable and clear field of vision. This advancement is particularly beneficial in high-volume surgeries like cholecystectomy, where uninterrupted focus is crucial.
Dr. Ricardo Funke, Chief of Surgery at Clínica Las Condes, noted that the AI system autonomously maintains visualization of the surgical field, allowing surgeons to concentrate fully on the procedure. This innovation is expected to improve workflow efficiency, reduce staffing needs, and potentially lower hospital costs while enhancing patient outcomes.
