AI Revolutionizes Urologic Care # Urology has become a critical frontier for artificial intelligence in medicine, particularly in the detection and management of prostate cancer, the most common non-skin cancer in American men. From AI systems that analyze prostate MRI to algorithms that assess biopsy pathology and guide surgical planning, these technologies are fundamentally changing how urologic conditions are diagnosed, staged, and treated. But with transformation comes significant liability exposure: When an AI system fails to detect clinically significant prostate cancer, or when a robotic surgery system contributes to a complication, who bears responsibility?

The Robotic Surgery Revolution # Surgical robotics has transformed operating rooms worldwide. The da Vinci Surgical System alone has been used in over 12 million procedures. Orthopedic robots like Mako assist in joint replacements with sub-millimeter precision. Yet with this technological revolution comes a complex liability landscape: who is responsible when a $2 million robot malfunctions, when a surgeon lacks adequate training, or when a hospital fails to maintain the equipment?
