AI-controlled Robot performs gall bladder operation

12th July, 2025

An AI-controlled robot has autonomously completed a gallbladder removal with “100 percent accuracy.”

The procedure, conducted by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, demonstrated the power of AI, which allowed the robot to make independent decisions and adapt to unexpected complications on the fly. (You might be relieved to learn, though, that the surgery was conducted on a hyper-detailed manequin with realistically-textured internal organs, not a living human patient.)

AI in health care could save lives and money − but change won’t happen overnight

How to spot warning signs,  types of skin cancer, and the importance of regular skin checks. 

Total Body Photography

A regular mole scan is a pro-active approach to detect melanoma early.

Total Body Photography (also known as mole mapping or whole-body imaging) is a highly advanced, non-invasive imaging technique that creates a comprehensive, high-resolution photographic record of your skin’s surface.

Early detection is crucial in the successful treatment of skin cancer.

Total Body Photography offers a significant enhancement to the full skin examination by creating a detailed visual record of your entire skin surface. This allows for the meticulous monitoring of existing moles and the identification of new or subtly changing lesions that might otherwise go unnoticed.

This is often the case when a skin cancer is in a delicate or difficult to access part of the body.

Skin Flap
A skin flap is a type of wound closure where skin is taken from an adjacent area and moved to fill the gap often created by the removal of a lesion such as skin cancer.
Skin Grafts
Another option for more complex skin cancer removals include skin grafts – where a transfer of tissue which has been completely removed from another area of the body is applied to help close a wound left from a skin cancer removal.
