The future of health care is poised for a transformative shift. Driven by the evolution of surgical robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and an interconnected ecosystem, health practitioners will be empowered to make procedures more precise, predictable, and personalized. This article explores emerging technologies in surgery that augment a surgeon's hands (robotics), eyes (medical imaging), and brain (AI-driven ecosystems). In robotics, endoluminal approaches and telesurgery are revolutionizing minimally invasive techniques and expanding access to care globally. Advanced visualization using patient specific models and new imaging modalities are enhancing surgical navigation and giving practitioners the ability to see the unseen. AI and data-driven platforms are increasing precision, optimizing clinical workflows, and reducing complications. As we continue to push the boundaries of MedTech innovation, the growing synergy between these technologies will make procedures more safe, more efficient, and more accessible-ultimately redefining surgical standards.

Background: Processing data from electronic health records (EHRs) to build research-grade databases is a lengthy and expensive process. Modern arthroplasty practice commonly uses multiple sites of care, including clinics and ambulatory care centers. However, most private data systems prevent obtaining usable insights for clinical practice.

Objectives: Although there has been rapid development in the field of three-dimensional morphological analyses of congenital heart disease, with the three-dimensional volume-rendered images providing visualization of the external vascular anatomy, the precise reproduction of "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septum is not well established. We created three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics based on multi-slice computed tomography of patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects for surgical decision planning of this difficult cardiac defect.
Methods: Seven patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects were evaluated preoperatively using three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics to plan therapeutic interventions.

Supracondylar humerus fractures comprise of a major part in pediatric trauma cases. They result from a fall on an outstretched hand. The rotational components of Gartland type III fractures if not corrected appropriately can lead to cubitus varus (gun stock deformity).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: No literature consensus was found about the best treatment of acute Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. In particular, the advantages and disadvantages between conservative treatment and surgery are not sufficiently quantified in the current literature.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science and Embase in March 2024.

Purpose: To quantitatively evaluate hand tremors during retinal vascular cannulation surgery with a microneedle and investigate if a customized passive surgical robot suppresses hand tremors.
Methods: A surgical simulation eye was modified, and an analysis system was used that synchronized the surgical video and accelerometer attached to the tail of the microneedle syringe. A cannulation target mimicking the optic disc and retinal vessels was designed in the bottom of the artificial eye.
