SMRTR summary
NYU Langone Health conducted the world's first fully robotic double lung transplant on a 57-year-old woman with COPD. Using the da Vinci Xi system, surgeons performed the entire procedure through small rib incisions. This advancement in minimally invasive care aims to reduce post-operative pain and improve outcomes. The milestone follows NYU's earlier achievement of the nation's first fully robotic single lung transplant, demonstrating rapid progress in robotic surgery for complex procedures.
