Chinese Military Hospital Completes World's First AI Robot-Guided Heart Surgery

A hospital in China has successfully performed the world's first heart surgery using an AI-powered ultrasound robot. The procedure fixed a congenital heart defect in a 48-year-old man without open surgery.

The robot, developed with a university team, can scan the heart automatically and guide doctors precisely. It creates a 3D model of the heart and plans the safest path for the procedure. This makes surgery more accurate and safer than traditional methods, where doctors must hold the ultrasound probe by hand.

The patient is recovering well, and doctors say this breakthrough could help many more people with complex heart conditions.
