Limitless possibilities: Integrating AI, robotic surgery with 3D imaging

As technology continues to evolve, 3D visualisation in surgery may give us a glimpse into what the future holds for healthcare, says Dr Shravan Nadkarni, consultant surgical oncologist at BALCO Medical Centre, New Raipur, Chattisgarh. The current standard of care is to use computed tomography scans of the entire body which visualises various organs along with any tumours in discontinuous slices of varying thickness. Complex cancer surgeries involve removal of the tumour along with the part of the diseased organ without causing surgical injuries to surrounding structures. Being able to see the tumour and visualise it exactly as it exists in the body before venturing into the surgery would be a boon for surgeons, especially in complex cancer cases which can ultimately lead to surgery with unmatched accuracy, faster recovery, and sooner return to routine life.
