Surgery is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in modern medicine. Robotics is only the beginning. Artificial intelligence, advanced imaging, real-time data, precision diagnostics, digital planning, augmented reality and intelligent navigation are converging to create a new generation of surgical interventions that are more precise, personalised and connected than ever before. Looking beyond today's technologies, this discussion explores how innovation is redefining the operating theatre, accelerating minimally invasive care and reshaping the future of surgical practice. Bringing together global innovators, clinicians and technology leaders, the session examines the breakthroughs on the horizon and where Australia can play a leading role in advancing the future of surgery.
