A surgeon at The London Clinic remotely operated a Toumai system to perform a prostatectomy on a patient in Gibraltar 2,400 km away.

  • The 6 March procedure was the first remote robotic surgery operated from the United Kingdom.
  • A high-speed fiber connection with 5G backup delivered 30 millisecond one-way latency between London and Gibraltar.
  • A complete surgical team remained beside the patient and was prepared to take over immediately if required.
