AI-powered surgical robots successfully removed pig gallbladders without human assistance, potentially paving the way for human trials within a decade. This marks a significant advancement in autonomous surgery. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University achieved a 100% success rate in eight operations on pig organs using AI-trained robots. The robots, trained on human surgical footage, performed the entire procedure, including cutting and clipping, without human intervention. Experts suggest this breakthrough could lead to faster, more precise surgeries. However, challenges remain, including adapting to patient movement and unforeseen complications, before autonomous surgery becomes clinically viable.
