AI successfully removes brain tumor
A team of surgeons at a British hospital performed the world's first operation to remove a brain tumor using a technique based on artificial intelligence. The procedure began in May on 48-year-old patient Rees Hebert, to treat a pituitary gland tumor diagnosed in 2024. The tumor threatened to cause him to lose his eyesight if surgery was not performed. The technology was used to analyze live images in the operating room and distinguish delicate brain structures with color coding, helping surgeons accurately identify and avoid sensitive areas. The doctors successfully removed the tumor entirely while preserving the patient's vision, who confirmed that the operation saved his sight and allowed him to return to work and volunteer activities. This operation represents the first practical application of the technology, which had previously been used for research purposes, marking an important step in advancing the use of AI in complex surgeries to enhance safety and reduce complications.
