Mumbai, April 30: On World Health Day 2026, observed this year under the theme “Together for health. Stand with science,” Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital has achieved a significant milestone in global healthcare delivery.
In a powerful demonstration of science and cross-border collaboration, Dr. T.B. Yuvaraja successfully performed a robotic radical nephrectomy (complete kidney removal surgery) on a 55-year-old female patient in Medical City Hospital, Muscat, while operating remotely from Mumbai.
Utilising the advanced MedbotToumai Robotic Surgery System, this landmark procedure is widely regarded as a first-of-its-kind cross-border remote robotic surgery from India, marking a decisive step towards a future where Indian medical expertise can transcend geography and reach patients globally in real time.
Enabled by advanced robotic systems and seamless real-time connectivity, the procedure was carried out with exceptional precision and control—reinforcing the reliability and clinical viability of cross-border remote surgery. (Sponsored)
