seizure. <\/p>\n<p>As his symptoms worsened, Hibbert opted for surgery and volunteered to take part in research. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf patients are not prepared to join research how can doctors ever learn and how can medicine ever progress?\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsked if I would be prepared to be the world&#8217;s first patient to have this technology used live\u2026 I said, yes, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Hibbert\u2019s doctors, the tumour would have continued to threaten his sight and could ultimately have led to blindness. The operation successfully removed the growth and protected his vision. <\/p>\n<p>Hibbert said that upon waking from surgery, his vision had dramatically improved: \u201cWhen I came round\u2026 I could see everything in the room clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">In world-first, UK and US surgeons perform remote stroke operation from across the Atlantic<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">UK woman plays clarinet during brain surgery to alleviate Parkinson&#8217;s symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The operation was carried out at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College London Hospitals (UCLH), as part of a clinical trial using AI technology developed in-house at University College London and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). <\/p>\n<p>During the surgery, the AI analysed the live surgical video feed in real time, rather than using pre-surgery scans, helping the surgical team make more precise decisions by highlighting critical structures at the base of the brain, UCLH explained. <\/p>\n<p>In this part of the brain, the pituitary gland \u2014 which is the size of a marble \u2014 sits tightly blood vessels and nerves controlling vision. A margin of error of just a millimetre can prove critical, potentially leading to death, blindness or stroke.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors explained that AI supported the surgical team by helping identify risky areas to avoid while removing as much of the tumour as safely possible. <\/p>\n<p>It also has the potential to track surgical instruments and instrument\u2013tissue interactions, with the aim of supporting surgeons during complex procedures and providing feedback. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an example of AI at its best: patients getting care previously deemed unimaginable thanks to the latest groundbreaking technology,\u201d said James Frith, the UK\u2019s Health Innovation Minister. <\/p>\n<p>He added that AI needs proper safeguards and we will always ensure that safety is taken seriously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2921026-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2921026\" data-cid=\"9891422\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2921026-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/14\/22\/480x270_cmsv2_d1a25176-63ce-5bce-8de5-edaec4f37429-9891422.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"A health worker walks at a temporary health clinic at the Mpondwe border crossing linking Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Thursday, 4 June, 2026.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Health news<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    WHO declares Uganda Ebola-free after 42 days with no new cases<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2920824-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 m-modeXL-1\" data-nid=\"2920824\" data-cid=\"9890438\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2920824-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/03\/57\/480x270_cmsv2_5dbffcdf-d869-5df8-aa97-270e145e145c-9890357.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"File photo.

cases in a week, 232 infections and 19 deaths in Greece<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">A man in England has become the first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery, which protected his sight during the removal of a brain tumour, the University College London Hospitals announced on Thursday.Rhys Hibbert, a 48-year-old from Bedfordshire, was diagnosed in December 2024 when he collapsed during a walk and suffered a seizure.\u00a0As his symptoms worsened, Hibbert opted for surgery and volunteered to take part in research.\u00a0\u201cIf patients are not prepared to join research how can doctors ever learn and how can medicine ever progress?\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cAsked if I would be prepared to be the world&#8217;s first patient to have this technology used live\u2026 I said, yes, of course.\u201dAccording to Hibbert\u2019s doctors, the tumour would have continued to threaten his sight and could ultimately have led to blindness. The operation successfully removed the growth and protected his vision.\u00a0Hibbert said that upon waking from surgery, his vision had dramatically improved: \u201cWhen I came round\u2026 I could see everything in the room clearly.\u201dThe operation was carried out at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), part of University College London Hospitals (UCLH), as part of a clinical trial using AI technology developed in-house at University College London and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).\u00a0During the surgery, the AI analysed the live surgical video feed in real time, rather than using pre-surgery scans, helping the surgical team make more precise decisions by highlighting critical structures at the base of the brain, UCLH explained.\u00a0In this part of the brain, the pituitary gland \u2014 which is the size of a marble \u2014 sits tightly blood vessels and nerves controlling vision. A margin of error of just a millimetre can prove critical, potentially leading to death, blindness or stroke.The doctors explained that AI supported the surgical team by helping identify risky areas to avoid while removing as much of the tumour as safely possible.It also has the potential to track surgical instruments and instrument\u2013tissue interactions, with the aim of supporting surgeons during complex procedures and providing feedback.\u00a0\u201cThis is an example of AI at its best: patients getting care previously deemed unimaginable thanks to the latest groundbreaking technology,\u201d said James Frith, the UK\u2019s Health Innovation Minister.\u00a0He added that AI needs proper safeguards and we will always ensure that safety is taken seriously.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/08\/27\/world-first-ai-guides-live-brain-surgery-in-the-uk-to-save-patients-sight&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/07\/97\/1200x675_cmsv2_773c8e33-c21d-50a3-b220-8c6daf840dab-9890797.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Two dead in &#8216;violent incident&#8217; at school near Berlin, local media says Europe News UK asylum applications drop by more than a fifth, new data shows Culture news Rock en Seine: when audio description becomes the eyes of the visually impaired Europe News Europe\u2019s wildfire summer puts spotlight on EU [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2114679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2114679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2114679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2114679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2114679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2114679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2114679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
