Doctors of two clinics in Barcelona, Spain, performed the first robotic surgery on two teenagers with congenital heart defects.
It is noted that one of the advantages of surgery performed with the participation of a robot is that the patient recovers after the operation in a shorter period than usual.
For information: 1% of live babies in the world are born with a congenital heart defect.
It should also be noted that last year, Spanish doctors performed the world's first lung transplant without breaking the patient's ribs with the help of a robot.
