- AI in robotic surgery holds great promise. But can it prove its value? Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the operating room. Yet innovation alone is not enough. The real question is whether it delivers measurable benefits for surgery and patient care. During WRSE12, Dr. Daniele Amparore and Dr. ir. Pieter De Backer will examine the step from promise to proof: How should the impact of surgical AI be measured? Which outcomes truly matter? And when does AI support the surgeon rather than add another layer of complexity? This
