Rhys Hibbert, a 48-year-old resident of Bedfordshire, UK, became the first patient in the world to undergo brain surgery with real-time artificial intelligence assistance. ^[1] Surgeons at University College London Hospitals successfully removed a benign 11 mm tumor located in Hibbert's pituitary gland using AI guidance. ^[2] For the first time in history, a neurosurgeon received real-time assistance from artificial intelligence during a live brain surgery operation in the UK. ^[3] Prior to the AI-assisted surgery, there was a 25% to 50% probability of not completely removing the tumor and a 0.5% to 2% probability of damaging a major blood vessel. ^[4] The AI system analyzed live video feeds of the operation to track surgical instruments and highlight areas where blood vessels and nerves were likely to be found. ^[5] The AI system analyzed images from the operating room in real-time to identify areas that could pose a danger to the patient during the procedure. ^[6] The patient, Rhys Hibbert, a 48-year-old man from Bedfordshire, underwent surgery to remove a pituitary tumor that threatened to cause blindness. ^[7] The patient, Rhys Hibbert, reported that his vision improved considerably after waking up and could walk without glasses or canes one week later. ^[8]
