Case Summary

The speaker outlines the evolution of surgery from open procedures to laparoscopic and robotic methods, emphasizing the shift towards minimally invasive techniques. Laparoscopic surgery, emerging in the 1990s, revolutionized surgical specialties by enabling procedures through small incisions, leading to quicker patient recovery. Now, AI is increasingly impacting surgery, building on the robotic surgery foundation laid in the early 2000s. The speaker also briefly touches on the potential future role of microbiotics in surgery, enabled by AI-driven miniature instruments for diagnostics, drug delivery, and surgical applications.
