World’s first fully robotic double lung transplant performed at NYU


NYU Langone performs the world’s first fully robotic double lung transplant, marking a breakthrough in minimally invasive surgical care.

Health challenges led her to retire from teaching karate, but she continued serving her community as a volunteer emergency medical technician with the Union Vale Fire Department in Dutchess County, New York, where she remains active. This month, a robot trained solely by analyzing videos of experienced surgeons successfully replicated complex surgical procedures with skills comparable to human doctors. According to experts, the innovation has the potential to advance surgical autonomy, minimize errors, and enhance procedural accuracy, marking a significant leap forward in robotic medicine.
