[Using Futuristic Advanced Operating Rooms].

Abstract

Future operating rooms (ORs) should integrate cutting-edge technologies to address the limitations of traditional surgical environments. Leveraging intraoperative imaging, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence enables real-time data integration, precise decision-making, and improved surgical outcomes. This approach transforms implicit knowledge into structured and actionable insights, thereby enhancing efficiency. Technologies, such as intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, hybrid ORs, and surgical robots offer advanced capabilities, reduce complications, and standardize surgical performance. Remote surgery and telemonitoring extend expert care to underserved regions, addressing geographical disparities. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, data security, and standardization, persist. International efforts, such as OPeLiNK, aim to standardize data protocols and interoperability. Future ORs are envisioned as dynamic and intelligent environments that can adapt to complex needs, ensuring enhanced patient safety, clinical outcomes, and equitable healthcare delivery.
