The first-ever augmented reality (AR) abdominal surgery was performed by Dr. Alberto Rodriguez in Chile. The surgeon gave details about the tech; an AI health expert also shared pros and cons.
A surgeon as well as the CEO of Levita Magnetics, a medical equipment manufacturer in Silicon Valley, Rodriguez helped develop a system that uses AR technology to enable less invasive surgery with a wider view for the surgical team. "I did the surgery, and I can tell you that it's a better way." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital.
Through the lens of Meta’s Quest 3 XR headset and Levita’s MARS system, Rodriguez was able to successfully perform a cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal surgery.
