Number of the day - World's 1st
" EndoQuest Robotics, Inc., developer of flexible robotic technology for endoluminal procedures, today announced the successful completion of two robotic transoral gastric reconstruction procedures using the company’s Endoluminal Surgical (ELS) System. Building on the established clinical framework of transoral outlet reduction (TORe), this fully robotic approach uses two-handed instrumentation to precisely perform full-thickness suturing, bringing s urgical dexterity and control to post-bypass gastric reconstruction entirely through the mouth. Together, these cases mark a dual milestone: the world’s first fully robotic transoral gastric procedures and the ELS System’s first clinical use in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The approach is also the first in a planned series of next-generation procedures EndoQuest is developing with the goal of improving the durability and precision of endoluminal procedures and, ultimately, patient outcomes."
