The London Clinic made medical history on 4th March 2026 when it became the first hospital in the UK to successfully conduct remote robot-assisted telesurgery on a patient, 2,400km away in Gibraltar.
World-leading robotic urological surgeon, Professor Prokar Dasgupta, who leads The London Clinic’s Robotic Centre of Excellence, in collaboration with Gibraltar Health Authority and urological surgeons at St Bernard’s Hospital in Gibraltar, performed a prostatectomy in real time via – telesurgery – using the Toumai Robotic System by Microport.
The surgery represents a major leap forward in surgical innovation, demonstrating how advanced robotic systems and digital connectivity can safely bring world leading expertise to patients regardless of geography and signals a future where technology enables faster, more equitable and more personalised healthcare for patients.
