US EditionRobotic surgery hits 'milestone' with autonomous gallbladder removal
MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Surgical Robot Transformer-Hierarchy completed eight autonomous gallbladder removals with 100% task success, adapting in real-time to anatomical variations, Johns Hopkins researchers reported.
- Earlier this week at Johns Hopkins University, a robot autonomously performed a gallbladder removal with 100% accuracy, as detailed in Science Robotics.
- Building on this milestone, the two-tier AI system SRT-H was trained on 17 hours of surgical videos with 16,000 human surgeon motions, enabling autonomous performance.
- The robot completed 17 surgical steps across eight trials, autonomously self-correcting six times per case and responding to voice commands with expert-level precision.
- Following this milestone, autonomous gallbladder removal achieves results comparable to expert surgeons, though some human intervention remains necessary for full clinical use.
- Beyond lab tests, researchers aim to conduct live animal trials, requiring regulatory approval and expanding to more surgical procedures.

Revolutionizing Surgery: AI-Guided Robot Achieves Milestone in Medical Procedures | Science-Environment
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed an AI-guided robot capable of autonomously executing intricate phases of gallbladder operations. Tested on pig organs, the robot achieved 100% accuracy but was slower than human surgeons. This innovation may tackle surgeon shortages and enhance surgical precision.
As with the belief that coconut water is used to remove kidney stones or that lemon water is a ‘detox’ drink for the kidneys; some claim that there are home remedies for ‘cleaning’ the gallbladder. To this end, one of the most popular combinations is to take olive oil with herbs and natural fruit juice, and even beliefs point to the fact that doing so will presumably eliminate gallstones from the body. And yes, as with theories that mineral wate…
