In the U.K., the world's first brain surgery using real-time AI was performed
British neurosurgeons used artificial intelligence for the first time directly during a brain tumor removal surgery.
The system analyzed video in real time and helped doctors identify important nerves and blood vessels.
The first patient was 48-year-old Rhys Gibbert. During the surgery, surgeons removed an 11-millimeter pituitary tumor.
The AI did not control the instruments or make decisions for the doctors—it served as a visual aid, highlighting critical structures.
After the surgery, the patient reported a significant improvement in his vision and has already returned to work.

As a reminder, a woman in the U.S. filed a lawsuit after a hysterectomy due to an alleged laboratory error.
Surgeons in Lviv discovered a parasitic growth in a woman’s liver that mimicked a malignant tumor and had been destroying the organ for years. The doctors managed to completely remove the lesion, and the outcome of the surgery exceeded their expectations.
