Operation Lindbergh
Sunday, May 4, 2008
A mechanical engineer by profession, I am also interested in the medical field. During my final year in university, I took up biomechanics and learnt about how an artificial heart valve work and how robotic assist technogies have help surgeons to perform surguries miles away from the patient.
2001 saw the first trans-atlantic surgery. Operation Lindbergh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindbergh_Operation , a telesurgical laparoscopic operation carried out by a team of French surgeons located in New York on a patient in Strasbourg, France, was a total success.
Here's a video of the surgery (not suited for faint-hearted though!!)http://www.ircad.fr/lindbergh/videos.php?lng=en
