24th Virtual Conference “The Future of Surgery”
Welcome to the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium. Headed by Dr. Isao Koshima, the Consortium was established to advance and promote the field of supermicrosurgery, from both clinical and industrial perspectives. MIRAI Medtech is a funding support partner.Since 2020, the Consortium have been holding regularly scheduled Virtual Conferences in Japan. Experts in medicine and engineering are invited to discuss cutting-edge medical treatments and technologies with one another, by challenging the paradigm separating specialties. Our conferences typically host about fifty individuals. Participants are surgeons and clinicians, researchers, and device engineers. We also encourage and welcome participation by manufacturers and dealers of medical devices. During 2021, the Next-Generation Supermicrosurgery Consortium started English-based virtual events for international participants.

Summary:
Primary malignant bone tumors are rare cancers that predominantly occur during the growth phase. Due to their rarity, many physicians lack clinical experience in diagnosing them, making it particularly challenging for general orthopedic surgeons to provide an accurate diagnosis at the initial consultation. To address this issue, our team has been developing an AI-powered X-ray image interpretation system designed to detect radiographic features specific to primary malignant bone tumors. Our ultimate goal is to obtain regulatory approval and implement this system as a certified medical device for clinical use.
In addition, we are advancing digital transformation (DX) in the field of bone and soft tissue tumors by developing a specialized chatbot powered by large language models (LLMs). This AI chatbot engages in iterative Q&A sessions, processes information step by step, and generates appropriate responses to support clinical decision-making. Furthermore, we are working on establishing a metaverse-based platform where bone and soft tissue tumor patients can connect, exchange information, and build a supportive community nationwide.
This seminar will provide insights into our latest research on AI-assisted diagnosis for bone tumors and discuss future prospects in this field.
President Isao Koshima (Professor in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Hiroshima University Hospital) of this research society will present the latest findings and global trends in connection with the invited lecture.The session will feature a surgical video demonstration showcasing key techniques. This time, I will be giving a lecture on “Reconstruction of Bone and Soft Tissue Using Super microsurgery [Surgical Video Demonstration]”.
After the lecture, there will be a lively online panel discussion with the speakers.
We hope you will join us for this informative event!
