    Citation Excerpt :

    In 1997, Himpens5 from Belgium completed the first long-distance surgical cholecystectomy using the tele-operated surgery system developed by the Intuitive Surgical Inc (Menlo Park, USA). In 1998, Carpentier6 from France completed more than 150 long-distance robotic heart operations in one year. In 2001, American surgeons completed the world’s first robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy using Zeus computer motion.7

  • Robotically Assisted Lobectomy: Learning Curve and Complications

    2008, Thoracic Surgery Clinics
    Citation Excerpt :

    All patients were discharged in good condition and returned to preoperative levels of physical activity within 10 days of the operation. Robotic surgery was initially developed to perform cardiac surgery: the first internal mammary artery grafting was performed in 1999 [4], and in 2000 Kapperet and coworkers [5] reported the preliminary results on 27 patients. Subsequently, the undoubted advantages of a robotic system were applied in many others disciplines, such as thoracic surgery.
