Dr. Vipul Patel interviews Dr. Jacques Marescaux about their groundbreaking robotic telesurgeries
Join two legends of robotic telesurgery as they discuss their landmark surgeries that profoundly changed the face of healthcare around the world. Dr. Jacques Marescaux performed the first-ever robotic telesurgery in September, 2001 from Strasbourg, France on a patient in New York City. Dr. Vipul Patel performed the first-ever FDA-approved robotic telesurgery originating in Florida on a patient in Africa in 2025. In this interview, both doctors look back on their respective procedures, discuss how they developed the technology to ensure a safe patient experience and what impact these innovative procedures will have on healthcare globally.
WHO and Society of Robotic Surgery launch health innovation initiative to expand access to virtual care and telesurgery
