A cardiac team at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia, has achieved a historic milestone by performing the world’s first fully robotic heart transplant. This groundbreaking surgery was performed by Dr. Feras Khaliel on a 16-year-old patient suffering from end-stage heart failure . The process began with detailed theoretical planning to ensure precision and minimize potential risks. Dr. Khaliel and his team practiced the procedure virtually seven times over three days before performing it on the patient to ensure the effectiveness of this innovative approach. Using robotic technology in this procedure allowed for minimally invasive surgery, reduced pain, and minimized the risk of complications. Overall, robotic surgery can significantly improve the patients' quality of life and accelerate their recovery.
