AI and Robotics in Surgery

December 17, 2025

ENP108

 
Hassan Heshmati

In the last five years, the field of artificial intelligence and robotics has taken off and has become a part of our everyday life, and it continues to grow and evolve. How are AI and robotics shaping the field of medicine? How is it improving the lives of doctors and patients? We used to ask, “What is the role of AI in medicine?” Are we getting closer to a time where we’ll be asking what the role is of humans? To help us answer these questions, host Aaron Lohr talks with Hassan M. Heshmati, MD. Dr. Heshmati has been a physician for 49 years and an endocrinologist for 45 years, with experience in clinical research and academia and in the pharmaceutical biotech industry. He founded Endocrinology Metabolism Consulting, based in Anthem, Ariz., and presented an abstract at ENDO 2025 titled, “Update on the Use of Robotic Surgery and Artificial Intelligence for Adrenal Tumors.”
