Surgeons from Scotland and US achieve world-first stroke surgery using robot

University of Dundee and US surgeons achieve a world-first stroke surgery using a robot, marking a potential game-changer in stroke care. Prof Iris Grunwald successfully performed a transatlantic thrombectomy on a human cadaver, showcasing the robot's capabilities in remote procedures. The innovative technology, involving robots from Lithuanian firm Sentante and support from tech giants Nvidia and Ericsson, aims to improve access to specialist stroke treatment worldwide. This groundbreaking procedure could revolutionize stroke care, especially for patients in rural or remote areas, by enabling remote surgeries with minimal training and real-time monitoring using advanced robotics.
