"The use of magnetic surgical instruments is designed to reduce the number of incisions in minimally invasive operations. These instruments, guided by external magnets, allow tissue manipulation inside the body with fewer entry points. When paired with the AI-guided camera, the system can both retract tissue and maintain an optimized view, helping to simplify some of the repetitive support tasks normally handled by surgical assistants. The surgeon, however, retains full control over instruments and all medical decisions."
"Beyond this case, institutions worldwide are testing semi-autonomous surgical systems. Research groups have demonstrated AI-driven robots capable of performing certain steps of complex operations on animal models, including organ suturing and precise dissection tasks. These studies suggest that, while full automation remains a distant prospect, targeted tasks such as visualization, suturing, and tissue handling could become progressively automated in the coming years."
A surgical team in Chile used an autonomous camera system to complete a gallbladder removal without a human assistant managing the laparoscopic view. The camera tracked instruments and adjusted angles in real time, eliminating manual repositioning and maintaining focus on the operative field. The platform combined magnetic-assisted instruments with intelligent imaging software to reduce the number of personnel and entry points during minimally invasive procedures. Magnetic instruments enable tissue manipulation with fewer incisions while the AI-guided camera retracts tissue and preserves an optimized view. Research worldwide shows semi-autonomous systems can perform steps like suturing and precise dissection on animal models.
