For the first time, an Italian team has successfully completed aheart surgery with help from a remote controlled robot The operation was performed and coordinated by the cardiac surgeon Alfonso Agnigo at the Humanitas-Gavezzeni Hospital in Bergamo. It is a fundamental milestone for Italian surgery and for the advancement of robotic medicine.
the robot – da Vinci – was used to perform the installation of a beating heart coronary artery bypass graft in mini-thoracotomy,
A year ago, Da Vinci was successfully used to remove a malignant kidney tumor from a patient.
The intervention was carried out with the precious cooperation of Professor Wouter Oosterlink of the Sacred Heart University of Leuven. Thanks to the use of special smart glasses designed for this purpose, the professor supervised the operation remotely while he was in Belgium.
The professor. In fact Oosterlink was also seen as physically present in the operating room, precisely materialized in a hologram that was projected into the viewer. Really, it was in a sense a “historic” operation, bringing cardiac surgery professionals thousands of miles away in direct communication, through the interaction of the most advanced technological systems at our disposal today: smart glasses and robots. .
