AI-Guided Camera Enables Solo Gallbladder Surgery in Chile

AI-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery

• 💡 Dr. Ricardo Funk, Chief of Surgery at Clinica Las Condes in Santiago, successfully performed a gallbladder removal using an AI-guided autonomous camera.
• 🎯 The camera tracked the movement of his hands and adjusted angles without a human assistant, allowing him to perform the surgery entirely with robotic assistance.

Levita Magnetics Technology

• 🚀 Alberto Rodriguez, CEO of Levita Magnetics, highlighted the procedure as a global milestone for increasingly sophisticated surgical technology.
• ✅ The system combines magnetic surgical instruments with software that autonomously directs the surgical camera.

Benefits of AI-Guided Surgery
