A 74-year-old Uttarakhand man, deemed too high-risk for lung cancer surgery due to severe breathing issues and diabetes, has successfully undergone robotic surgery at Apollo Hospitals. A comprehensive prehabilitation program significantly improved his fitness, enabling the minimally invasive procedure. This offers new hope for elderly and medically fragile cancer patients previously denied curative treatment.

An Indian urologist, Dr. Syed Mohammed Ghouse, successfully performed a 90-minute robotic bladder reconnection surgery on a patient in Hyderabad while located in Wuhan, China. This medical milestone utilized China-developed robotics and 5G technology, enabling precise remote control of surgical instruments over 3,000 km. The procedure was part of an international congress showcasing advancements in remote surgical capabilities.

Doctors successfully treated a 61-year-old woman with a rare paraesophageal hernia and gastric volvulus using advanced robotic surgery. The patient experienced severe, persistent pain for eight months due to her stomach migrating into her chest and twisting. Robotic-assisted repair repositioned the stomach, repaired the diaphragm, and secured it, leading to a swift recovery and discharge within three days.

Thane's Tieten Medicity Hospital achieved a milestone with India's first robotic telesurgery for gall bladder removal. Using the indigenously developed Mizzo Endo 4000 system and a 5G network, surgeons remotely operated on a patient from Dombivli. This groundbreaking procedure highlights the future of precise, minimally invasive surgery in India, showcasing advanced technology and high-speed connectivity.

A Chinese surgeon remotely operated a robotic system to remove a prostate tumor from a patient 220 kilometers away. Utilizing a 5G network with minimal latency, the procedure connected two cities in Hubei Province, demonstrating the potential of advanced technology to expand access to specialized surgical expertise.

World No Tobacco Day highlights the silent, slow progression of tobacco-related diseases, often missed due to painless early signs. Experts emphasize that many cancers are preventable and urge a broader conversation beyond cigarettes to include all forms of tobacco and nicotine use, stressing that breaking dependence is key to health.

German researchers are making waves with a cutting-edge 'Trojan horse' obesity drug that has eclipsed current frontrunners in trials with mice. The innovative formula decreases appetite and weight significantly while also enhancing blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity. Utilizing hormone mimics for precise cellular targeting, this approach minimizes unwanted side effects and presents a multifaceted method for combating obesity.

An 85-year-old woman, Mrs. Lakshmi, defied odds after a critical colon blockage and a second oesophageal tumor were diagnosed. Doctors at Manipal Hospital utilized advanced robotic surgery to successfully treat both conditions in a single, complex procedure. Remarkably, she recovered swiftly, returning home within a week, showcasing resilience and the power of modern medical intervention.

A popular claim that cutting sugar starves cancer is a dangerous half-truth. While cancer cells consume glucose, so do essential bodily functions. Aggressive carbohydrate restriction can lead to muscle loss and weaken patients, hindering treatment. Experts emphasize balanced nutrition for strength and recovery, not elimination.

A 34-year-old man from Durgapur, suffering from severe hip arthritis due to ankylosing spondylitis, regained mobility within hours after a minimally invasive total hip replacement at Sarvodaya Hospital. The procedure, utilizing the Direct Anterior Approach and advanced navigation technology, successfully restored his limb length and allowed him to walk with support shortly after surgery.

Elon Musk's Neuralink is developing a surgical robot to implant its brain-computer interface, aiming to treat brain-related conditions. This robot, designed for precision and consistency, uses an ultrafine needle to insert electrode threads, automating a complex procedure. Neuralink's goal is a generalized neural interface to help thousands more people.
