Remote Robotic Surgery for Stroke Treatment
New technology is emerging that could enable surgeons to perform operations remotely, potentially transforming emergency medical care in rural areas.
Andy Ringer of Ohio's Mayfield Brain and Spine is exploring the use of remote robotics to treat patients suffering from strokes or aneurysms.
So, it will allow us to drive a device in a remote city or a remote part of the city and help effectively open the artery of stroke patients at other hospitals, without us having to drive to that person, or without that person having to drive to us.
Dr. Ringer has already tested the technology, successfully navigating a catheter from South Carolina to a device in San Francisco.
Author's summary: Remote robotic surgery may revolutionize stroke treatment.
