First Telesurgery Application in Türkiye: Surgery from 1400 Kilometers

A turning point occurred in the history of medicine in Türkiye; A patient receiving treatment in Muş was operated on with a robotic surgery system from Istanbul, approximately 1400 kilometers away. This operation was performed with the telesurgery method, which was used for the first time in our country, eliminating distances.

Thanks to the robotic system remotely controlled by expert surgeons, the patient's hysterectomy operation was successfully completed. This technological development has become one of the most important steps in digital transformation in healthcare, making it possible for specialist doctors to intervene, especially in regions where access to healthcare is limited.
