Dubai reaches latest medtech milestone with robotic surgery for kidney removal
Following the successful use of online apps, tracking devices and telemedicine to control a pandemic, while enabling remote care, doctors in the Middle East have started using medtech gadgets for non-invasive as well as accurate procedures. Robots have been pitched as cops, office assistants and guides for the future, but the need for contactless healthcare has led to their adoption as support staff in hospitals, to monitor patients in quarantine. Robotic pharmacies have also become a feature at AI-backed facilities in the UAE, while droids have even conducted operations, one of which involved removal of a tumour. Considering the precision that smart machines bring to the table, robo-arms are now being used for removal and transfer of kidneys from donors to patients, at a hospital in Dubai. The surgeries that benefited two people were carried out using the state-of-the-art Da Vinci tool, which is a pair of robotic arms, that can imitate the movement of human hands.
