June 25, 2026
A historic surgery was performed in Athens by a Greek doctor who was 8,000 kilometers away in China. Professor Evangelos Liatsikos used robotic machines through telemedicine to operate on a patient with prostate cancer. The procedure was seamless, and the patient was thrilled with the groundbreaking technology. Liatsikos believes such surgeries will become more frequent in the future. This development marks a new era in surgery and telemedicine.
