Revolutionizing Gastrointestinal Surgery: How Robotics and AI Are Transforming Patient Care

Robotics and AI are transforming gastrointestinal (GI) surgery by enabling minimally invasive procedures with greater precision and faster recovery. According to Dr. Kona Lakshmi Kumari (MS, FICS, FIAGES), Department of Bariatric Surgery, Surgical Gastroenterology, robotic-assisted surgery gives surgeons enhanced control and 3D visualization, allowing for complex operations with minimal intrusion—especially important for delicate organs like the liver and pancreas.

AI analyzes complex medical data and images, helping identify issues earlier and customize treatment plans to each patient’s needs. These technologies reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and improve quality of life. While challenges like cost and training exist, Dr. Kumari highlights that robotics and AI are setting new standards for safer, more effective, and personalized GI surgery.
