Getting more value from robotic surgery starts with context
Mantyx joins the discussion at IEO Milan
For two decades, robotic surgery has helped redefine what is possible in the operating room. At IEO in Milan, a center with deep expertise in oncological robotic surgery, that progress became the starting point for a wider conversation about where the field is heading next.
The event brought together surgeons, engineers, and clinical leaders to reflect on robotic surgery as part of a larger shift toward digital, data-informed surgical care. The conversation looked beyond what robotic platforms have already made possible and turned to the data and clinical insight surrounding each procedure.
For Marco Mezzina, Computer Vision Engineer at Mantyx, that next phase starts with context.
From robotic precision to procedural understanding
Robotic platforms have brought greater precision, control, and consistency to complex procedures. Yet much of what happens during a case remains difficult to capture, compare, and learn from across procedures.
A more intelligent OR can make the surgical workflow easier to follow. It can help teams see how a procedure unfolds, where timing varies, and how insight from one case can support the next, from planning and intraoperative awareness to post-op review.
Clinical value of AI
What caught the room’s attention most was how AI could support the surgical team during the procedure itself. Surgeons wanted to understand how a system could recognize surgical phases, identify key events, and support the team without adding complexity or interrupting the flow of surgery.
The operational value became clearer as the discussion moved from clinical support to hospital performance. Better visibility into timing, variation, and workflow can help hospitals improve planning, case predictability, and OR utilization.
Bringing intelligence into the robotic OR
Mantyx is being developed as a real-time, voice-first AI co-pilot for robotic surgery, bringing procedure-aware intelligence into the OR without adding noise.
By making surgical workflow easier to follow and procedure data easier to interpret, Mantyx helps robotic surgery generate clearer clinical and operational value.
