CUHK Medicine – The world’s first in vivo teleoperated magnetic endoscopy

CUHK Medicine shared on LinkedIn:

“{Endoscopy from 9,300 km away} CU Medicine and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zürich), Switzerland, have conducted the world’s first in vivo teleoperated magnetic endoscopy using a porcine model, performing a biopsy of the stomach wall.

Two operators controlled the procedure: a clinician in the operating room in Hong Kong and a remote expert at an operator console in Zurich, 9,300 kilometres (km) away. This study highlights the capabilities and future potential of this novel technology, facilitating immediate diagnostic and surgical care in remote areas, particularly for specialised procedures where local expertise is not available. Study details have been published in Advanced Intelligent Systems. ”
