The surgery, which was conducted using real time artificial intelligence, saved his sight. The use of AI during surgery has been hailed as a game changer for delicate operations like neurosurgery.
The technology colour codes and highlights intricate brain structures, helping clinicians avoid critical areas while removing tumours.
