A historic telesurgery is carried out at Yerevan’s Slavmed Medical Center, with a doctor in Shanghai remotely controlling a robotic surgical system located in Armenia. The procedure demonstrates cross-continental medical robotics using real-time connectivity between the two locations.
Both reports describe the operation as relying on stable communications and reliable equipment to ensure the procedure runs without interruption. Slavmed’s teams in the operating theater—medical staff and engineers—manage the on-site setup and support during the remotely guided operation, while the remote surgeon oversees the robotic system from China.
The outlets frame the event as an important milestone for international cooperation in healthcare and as a proof point for the clinical capabilities of Armenian specialists. While the emphasis differs—one highlights the technical reliability and connectivity requirements, and the other underscores the cooperation and broader significance—the core details align: a remote control telesurgery connects Shanghai and Yerevan through a MicroPort MedBot robotic system.
