29 RSIP Neph “ Removing the need for guessing will allow theoperating teamtoavoid criticalmistakes and lead to better surgical outcomes, with very significant benefits to the patient. ” RSIP Neph is part of the RSIP Vision group and until now, was active in a stealth mode. It develops innovative visual intelligence solutions for the Urological field, through advanced AI and computer vision applications. The solutions address diverse clinical use cases, including Kidney related procedures, PCNL, Lesion ablation, Calix segmentation (4-phased CT) soft tissue tracking and Non-rigid registration. Its technology is based on its founders’ extensive track record and years in the field, trusted by the largest, industry leading medical device companies. as partial nephrectomy , is preferable to full removal of the organ, as it preserves healthy tissue that can continue to function. This is particularly critical in case of future damage to the second kidney.
