Description: Critical care doctor Peter Weinstock shows how surgical teams are using a blend of Hollywood special effects and 3D printing to create amazingly lifelike reproductions of real patients -- so they can practice risky surgeries ahead of time. Think: "Operate twice, cut once." Glimpse the future of surgery in this forward-thinking talk.

Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer

Lifelike medical simulations, blending Hollywood effects with 3D printing, revolutionize surgery prep, enhancing patient safety.

Medical apprenticeship evolves: Doctors practice complex surgeries on ultra-realistic simulations before the actual operation.

Innovative surgical rehearsal tech allows doctors to 'operate twice, cut once,' promising a new era in patient care and outcomes.
