A new AI-assisted surgical technology is being used for the first time in the UK to colour-code different body parts during live operations, according to multiple reports. The system is designed to work alongside robotic or laparoscopic surgery. During the procedure, it highlights anatomical structures in real time on a screen, helping surgeons visually distinguish between parts of the body as the operation proceeds. The reports state that the first use in the UK takes place at St Mark’s Hospital in London. The outlets describe the tool as a “breakthrough” approach to providing on-screen guidance during surgery, using AI to recognise and label anatomy during the procedure. While the specific technical details and any clinical performance results are not provided in the excerpts, the accounts agree on the core elements: it is AI-based, it colour-codes anatomy, it runs during live surgery, and it is being trialled or introduced for the first time in the UK at the London hospital.
