IRCAD has reached another milestone in surgical robotics, completing 12 remote operations between Strasbourg and India within a single day. Operating from IRCAD France, Dr. Mahak Bhandari intervened on patients in India using the MicroPort MedBot robotic system.
This successful series of interventions reaffirms the safety and clinical feasibility of long-distance telesurgery, confirming its steady transition from experimental validation to routine healthcare delivery.
The achievement also highlights the collaborative capacity of the IRCAD International network. Across nine global institutes, teams unite around shared technological and surgical challenges, pooling clinical expertise to accelerate innovations that directly benefit patients worldwide.
