1st robotic arm surgery in UAE
The first robotic arm-assisted surgery in the UAE will occur on Friday at Rashid Hospital when foreign experts perform the surgery on three UAE patients, reported Gulf News. The procedure will be broadcast live to an audience at the hospital auditorium, part of a three-day laparoscopic and endoscopic surgical conference organised by the Emirates Medical Association. Robotic surgery is performed by a specially designed robot controlled by a surgeon in another room. The method lessens the risks of infection and requires fewer people to perform a surgery.
