flag Surgeons in Scotland and Florida performed the first transatlantic robotic stroke surgery using a Lithuanian system, simulating real-time treatment 4,000 miles apart.

flag Surgeons in Dundee and Jacksonville performed the world’s first transatlantic robotic stroke surgery, using a Lithuanian-made system to conduct a full mechanical thrombectomy on cadavers 4,000 miles apart. flag The procedure, completed with real-time control and a 120-millisecond delay, simulated human blood flow and replicated all steps of a standard thrombectomy. flag The breakthrough, supported by Nvidia and Ericsson, could expand access to life-saving stroke care, especially in rural or underserved areas where timely treatment is currently limited. flag The University of Dundee plans clinical trials next year, aiming to overcome geographic barriers and surgeon shortages. flag Experts say the technology could significantly improve outcomes, as every six-minute delay reduces recovery chances by 1%.
