Bangalore, January 17, 2024 – A revolutionary milestone was achieved today at the Lenticule Congress 2.0 when a corneal surgery, remotely controlled from the Taj Hotel Bangalore AirPort (India), was successfully executed on a patient hospitalized at the Bari Polyclinic (Italy).
In a groundbreaking event, Professor Giovanni Alessio performed a remotely controlled surgery from the La Principina Conference Center in Grosseto on a patient at the Bari Policlinic during the S.I.C.S.S.O. Congress (The International Society of Cornea, Stem Cells, and Ocular Surface). This remarkable procedure utilized the 4D Suite platform from iVis Technologies, interconnected via the 5G connection provided by TIM and Ericsson, marking a significant milestone in medical technology.
The first successful intercontinental tele-surgery intervention for keratoconus was carried out remotely, connecting the iRes®2 laser by iVis Technologies, installed in the operating room of the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Policlinico of Bari and connected via 5G, with the iVis Remote Control Station installed in the Falcon Ballroom of the Le Méridien Congress Center in Dubai, during the World Keratoconus Congress (WKC) in the presence of over 200 international ophthalmic surgeons and experts in the field, gathered to discuss advanced technologies for keratoconus treatment and ectatic diseases.
International breakthrough: Professor Giovanni Alessio, during the National AICCER Congress, performed a remotely controlled refractive surgery from the "La Nuvola" Congress Center on a patient at San Carlo Hospital in Nancy, Rome, assisted in the operating room by Dr. Scipione Rossi. This innovative procedure was carried out thanks to the 4D Suite platform from iVis Technologies and the 5G connection provided by TIM.
During the AICCER convention yesterday, our audience had the opportunity to witness the extraordinary efficiency of our remote control surgery system. A surgery performed by our 4D suite, developed by iVis Technologies.
Stay tuned, as we will soon share a video of the surgery!
