Manipal Hospital in Jaipur, India claimed to have performed the world's first robotic cardiac telesurgery under Dr Lalit Aditya Malik, who heads the cardiac surgery department. The state-of-the-art medical procedure was performed on January 9 and the second surgery was conducted the next day. Both were successful and the patients are recovering well.

Dr. Fredric Moll, known as the Father of Surgical Robotics, emphasised that this success marks a significant step forward in bridging gaps in healthcare access through technology.

India's first indigenous surgical robotic technology has made history in global healthcare by successfully performing the world's first two robotic cardiac telesurgeries within two days, according to doctors involved in the procedures.

The surgeries, conducted by three surgical robotic systems, connected SS Innovations' headquarters in Gurugram with a private hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan, spanning a distance of 286 kilometers. The telerobotic-assisted Internal Mammary Artery Harvesting procedure was completed remotely in just 58 minutes. The procedure was led by Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of SS Innovations International, Inc., from the SSI Headquarters in Gurugram and supported by Dr. Lalit Malik, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Jaipur, along with his expert team at the remote location in Jaipur. The procedure was performed with exceptional precision, achieving an incredibly low latency of just 35-40 milliseconds (1/20th of a second).

Dr. Sudhir Srivastava remarked, 'We are extremely thrilled to have advanced the capabilities of surgery to benefit humanity, especially in areas that need it the most. By enabling telesurgery, we can bridge gaps in access to medical expertise and deliver the highest standard of care, regardless of geographical barriers.'

It's a very icky videogame indeed.  You only get one life too.

I wonder if it will reach a level of precision where it can crack a chest and replace cardiac arteries that are totally occluded.  Imagine being the patient who volunteered for this.
