Miami Day 1 Session 3 : Technology Track

Precision in robotic surgery begins with better visualization, and this session from the Vattikuti Innovation in Medicine Summit explores three distinct ways technology is sharpening that view. The conversation opens with a 3D MRI-DTI prostate model designed to help surgeons visualize nerve structures in advance of surgery, offering a new layer of anatomical clarity for nerve-sparing procedures. From there, the discussion turns to augmented reality combined with digital pathology guidance during robotic prostatectomy, illustrating how real-time overlays can support more informed intraoperative decisions. The session closes with an introduction to Surgical Copilot, a vision-language AI model built to understand prostatectomy procedures as they happen, hinting at a future where AI can act as an active collaborator in the operating room rather than a passive recording tool. Urologists, surgical innovators, and medical imaging specialists will find valuable insight into how 3D modeling, augmented reality, and AI-driven vision systems are converging to improve intraoperative precision. The session reflects the growing role of image-guided technology in robotic surgery and offers a clear look at where surgical AI research is headed next, grounded in the expertise of specialists working directly in urologic and imaging innovation.
