AI spots surgical smoke in real time to keep operating rooms clear
NCT ID NCT07397000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing an artificial intelligence system that can automatically detect smoke gas produced during laparoscopic surgery. Researchers will collect video data from 30 women undergoing procedures that use high-frequency surgery, which creates smoke. The goal is to train the AI to recognize smoke in real time, helping surgeons maintain a clear view and improve safety.
