HCM CITY — Hồ Chí Minh City’s Nhân Dân (People) 115 Hospital has successfully carried out the first robotically assisted brain tumour surgery in Việt Nam. Professor Kassam said robotically assisted brain surgery has been widely used in developed countries such as the US, Canada and Australia, allowing doctors to perform complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than conventional techniques. This medical landmark was the first robot-assisted brain surgery in Asia. In microsurgery I have to look at my hands, but for the robotically assisted surgery, all the operations can be viewed on the screen.”The surgery does almost no damage the adjacent brain structure. He expected more robotically assisted brain surgery will be conducted in the hospital and other infirmaries.
