For the first time at the "Vishnevsky" National Medical Research Center, the Central Hospital of the Russian Army, surgeries were performed using an advanced robotic system equipped with a special endoscope, under the supervision of the hospital's Chief, Major General Alexander Yesipov.

Major General Yesipov confirmed that the operating room at the hospital is equipped to perform minimally invasive surgeries remotely, which allows them to be carried out more efficiently and quickly, significantly reducing the patient's recovery time and greatly lowering the risk of bleeding.

In an interview with "Russia-24", Major General Yesipov explained that the use of this automated system contributes to enhancing the accuracy of surgical procedures, as the system is characterized by its ability to simulate tissue responses, allowing the surgeon to feel their resistance, and reduces the risk of harming the patient, compensating for the lack of tactile sensitivity in traditional surgery.

For his part, Colonel Yuri Outlik, the head of the surgery department at the hospital, pointed out that the first surgeries using the robotic system were successfully carried out, and explained that training the medical team in simulation centers helped facilitate the process and made it routine.

Outlik added that the device operates on the principle of remote control by the surgeon, and features an artificial intelligence system supported by neural networks, allowing access to a reference database that contains information about approximately 300 surgical procedures, helping to anticipate the surgeon's next steps and warn them of any potential risks.

Every operation is also recorded in the database for future operations.
