TL;DR

London's NHNN performed the world's first AI-assisted brain-tumor removal, using an AI system that color-codes critical brain structures in real time while surgeons remain in control. The 11mm pituitary-t gland tumor was removed, helping preserve the patient’s sight and enabling rapid recovery, with the procedure funded as part of an NIHR clinical trial and highlighting AI's potential to boost precision and safety in delicate neurosurgery.
