Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed an AI-powered surgical robot named SRT-H that has autonomously performed gallbladder removal surgeries on pig organs with 100% accuracy. The robot was trained using videos of human surgeries and demonstrated the ability to identify arteries, clip ducts, cut tissue, and adapt to changing visual conditions during the procedure without human intervention. The system also responded to voice commands from the surgical team, mimicking the behavior of a novice surgeon. This achievement marks a major advancement toward fully autonomous robotic surgery, particularly for routine procedures like gallbladder removals, which are performed hundreds of thousands of times annually. The robot’s performance was validated through multiple successful operations on lifelike models, and the technology combines generative AI and machine learning to achieve expert-level precision and adaptability. While this breakthrough suggests a promising future for AI-driven surgical care, especially in preclinical animal models, regulatory and clinical challenges remain before such systems can be widely adopted for human surgeries.
