Robot Surgery Transforms Cancer Treatment as Specialist Visits Patient from 1,500 Miles Away
Doctors at The London Clinic successfully performed remote robot surgery on a cancer patient 1,500 miles away, using a robotic system to remove the tumor in a breakthrough procedure that eliminates the need for long-distance travel by the patient.
Doctors at The London Clinic successfully removed cancer from a 71-year-old man using remote robot surgery, a first of its kind procedure where the specialist came to the patient rather than the other way around. The robotic system was guided remotely by doctors in London to remove the tumor via a minimally invasive procedure. The patient, who remains unidentified, underwent the operation from his home in California, over 1,500 miles away. This breakthrough procedure marks an exciting step forward in remote surgery.
