Armenia’s Slavmed Medical Center reports that it performs the country’s first robotic remote surgery. The operation is a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for a patient with early-stage prostate cancer. According to the reports, the procedure is conducted by Professor Alexandre Mottrie, a urologist and head of the Urology Department at OLV Hospital in Aalst, Belgium, who also serves as Executive Director of the ORSI Academy. The surgery is carried out remotely from Belgium, using a robotic system to enable the operating surgeon to perform the procedure at the Armenian facility. The milestone is presented as a development for Armenia’s healthcare sector, expanding access to advanced surgical technology through remote operation. Both sources describe the same core elements of the event: the first remote robotic surgery in Armenia at Slavmed, and the patient’s treatment for early-stage prostate cancer using a robot-assisted approach. The accounts do not provide further details on the outcomes or follow-up beyond the successful performance of the operation.
