About
When a patient enters an operation theatre, the patients is said to have been "wheeled in".
Quite similarly, AI has been "wheeled in" to the surgery ecosystem.
As an added bonus, I am from India, so wheeled.in makes for a nice name.
Today AI finds use in pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative workflows.
The rate at which existing models are evolving and new ones are being developed, is breath-taking.
As a surgery resident, I write this blog to connect with others with similar interest as well as stay abreast the latest developments.
From open to laparoscopic to robotic, visual stimulus is dominating over other senses as more sophisticated tools line up between the surgeon’s hand and the patient’s body.
Will this pave the way for autonomous surgeries in the not too distant future?
And at the present, how sharp is the cutting edge after all?
