We’re proud to announce the world’s first AI-guided autonomous surgery with the MARS® platform.

Surgeons at Clínica Las Condes in Santiago, Chile performed the surgery using MARS and an integrated AI-guided autonomous surgical camera, delivering enhanced stability and a clearer, uninterrupted field of vision.

This achievement represents a huge step toward surgical autonomy in patients, redefining how high-volume procedures such as cholecystectomy are performed.

Levita Magnetics was founded in Silicon Valley with a vision to transform minimally invasive surgery and improve patient outcomes.

Now, seeing the MARS® Surgical System deployed for the first time on the West Coast—at Stanford University Hospital, just down the road from our headquarters—is a full-circle moment.

A huge thank you to Dr. Dan Azagury, Chief of Stanford’s Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Section and Director of the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign, for his leadership in bringing MARS to Stanford.

We’re honored to partner with this outstanding team to make bariatric and gallbladder procedures less invasive, and helping patients experience faster recovery, less pain, and better cosmetic results.
