@JohnRTMonsonMD @fascrs_tech @KhurshidGuru @BadarMian1 @RehanMohsin123 @SIUTOrg @Colon_Doc @cbec_siut @SiutNAmerica @AsadShahzadHas1 Good points, John. Factors include equipment costs, monopolies, restrictive moratoriums, and lack of alternative platforms. Improvements in 5G and new market players will help reduce costs and level the playing field.

From the shores of the Nile to the sands of Kashgar, robotic surgery knows no bounds! Shanghai surgeon removes a lung tumor 5000 km away, in Kashgar!#MedTwitter #Roboticsurgery @KhurshidGuru @BadarMian1 @RehanMohsin123 @SIUTOrg @Colon_Doc @cbec_siut @SiutNAmerica @AsadShahzadHas1

A surgeon in China successfully removed a lung tumor from a patient while being 5000 km away. The doctor operated the machine remotely from his office in Shanghai, while the patient was in Kashgar, located on the opposite side of the country. The entire operation was completed in an hour. #MedTwitter

@ayeshaijazkhan Agree totally. There is no end to the hypocrisy on display here.

@BadarMian1 @AmerUrological @AmerMedicalAssn Hopefully yes!
Unless it gets appealed and Supreme Court overturns

This is a truly incredible speech by the great Tony Benn that I’d recommend everyone watch.

@AsadShahzadHas1 As someone once said, it’s always a small group of thoughtful committed individuals that change the world. Never underestimate them!
Kudos to the SIUT robotic team👏👍

[Irfan Rizvi MD, FRCS(Eng), FACS, FASCRS @irizvimd]

@cbec_siut Dr. Moazam remains a trailblazer! I practice in that proverbial “dilli”
Our group of 12 has 8 female surgeons, most of them in leadership roles. Todays surgical workforce is different. It’s a good thing!

[Irfan Rizvi MD, FRCS(Eng), FACS, FASCRS @irizvimd]

@AsadShahzadHas1 Are there similar lower GI training models?

@SIUTOrg Congratulations!!
