伦敦国家神经学与神经外科医院（NHNN）的神经外科医生成功完成了全球首例AI辅助脑肿瘤切除手术1。该手术于今年5月实施，患者为48岁男子Rhys Hibbert，其垂体腺内长有一个11毫米（0.4英寸）的肿瘤1。Hibbert于2024年确诊，症状包括严重的激素失衡及视力问题1。
在手术过程中，AI系统实时分析手术摄像头画面，识别出肿瘤周围需避开的神经和血管等关键结构，成功保住了患者的视力1。该AI技术此前仅作为研究工具使用，此次为首次应用于患者1。伦敦大学学院（UCL）机器人与AI副教授Sophia Bano博士担任该AI系统的技术负责人1。此次手术作为临床试验的一部分，获得了英国国家健康与护理研究所（NIHR）的资助1。术后一周内，Hibbert便能在不使用眼镜或拐杖的情况下独立行走，目前已重返工作岗位，继续担任客户服务经理1。
Neurosurgeons at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London have completed the world's first successful AI-assisted surgery to remove a brain tumour 1. The operation, conducted in May 2025, treated 48-year-old Rhys Hibbert, who had an 11mm (0.4in) tumour in his pituitary gland 1. Throughout the procedure, an artificial intelligence system analyzed live surgical camera footage in real time to identify and help avoid critical structures like nerves and blood vessels around the tumour 1. This advanced guidance successfully preserved the patient's vision 1.
Hibbert was diagnosed in 2024 after suffering from severe hormonal imbalances and vision issues 1. His recovery was remarkably swift; within a week post-surgery, he was walking independently without needing glasses or a walking stick, and he has now returned to his role as a customer service manager 1. While the AI technology had previously been utilized solely as a research tool, this marked its inaugural application on a patient 1. The procedure was part of a clinical trial funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, with Dr. Sophia Bano, an Associate Professor of Robotics and AI at UCL, acting as the technical lead for the AI system 1.
