World's first AI-assisted brain surgery performed in UK
- Rhys Hibbert, 48, from Bedfordshire, is the first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery to protect his sight.
- Hibbert was diagnosed with a brain tumor which was impacting his vision.
- Hibbert volunteered for the surgery as part of a research program at University College London Hospitals.
- During the surgery, AI analysed the live surgical video feed in real time, rather than using pre-surgery scans, helping the surgical team make more precise decisions.
