Recently, a surgeon based in London accomplished a procedure that seems straight out of science fiction: operating a surgical robot located at a hospital in Gibraltar—a staggering distance of approximately 1,500 miles away—right from his station in London. His mission? To perform a prostatectomy, removing a cancerous prostate gland from a male patient. This groundbreaking feat has catapulted the London clinic into the history books as the first hospital in the UK to successfully carry out a remote robot-assisted surgery.
