Surgeons successfully performed a remote robotic surgery to remove a brain blood clot, marking a world first. The procedure, conducted across 6,400 km, involved a surgeon in the US controlling a robot in Scotland on a donated cadaver. This breakthrough could revolutionize stroke treatment by overcoming specialist shortages and geographical barriers. This technology, developed by Sentante with support from Nvidia and Ericsson, aims to improve access to time-sensitive stroke interventions. Human trials are anticipated to begin in 2026.
