A Beijing surgical team traveled to Macao to perform the city's first robotic pancreatic surgery, navigating over 20 delicate blood vessels to remove a rare tumor while keeping the patient's spleen intact. The patient was walking the next day.
Women who receive polyurethane-coated breast implants after mastectomy face significantly fewer complications than those with standard implants. A major European study tracked 1,500 patients and found the spongy coating dramatically reduces painful scarring and repeat surgeries.
Surgeons can now track spinal movement in real time during surgery thanks to a newly cleared robotic system that combines planning, navigation, and execution in one platform. The technology aims to make complex spine procedures more precise and predictable for millions of patients.
After two million robotic procedures worldwide, medical device giant Stryker just launched a handheld robotic system that makes knee replacement surgery easier for doctors and safer for patients. The breakthrough tool guides surgeons with precision without requiring the complex setup of traditional surgical robots.
A young man bleeding internally from a rare stomach tumor walked out of a Gurugram hospital just three days after emergency robotic surgery saved his life. Advanced technology turned what could have been fatal into a quick recovery story.
Johns Hopkins researchers built an AI-powered robot that can thread needles thinner than human hair into retinal veins, succeeding 90% of the time in lab tests. The breakthrough could help save vision for thousands who suffer from blocked veins in their eyes.
