Doctor performs first robot-assisted surgery in the Air Force
A robot assists in a laparoscopic prostatectomy, or the surgical removal of prostate cancer, April 10 at Wilford Hall, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The robot converts the surgeon's hand movements into very precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient. This was the first robot-assisted surgery in the Air Force, performed by Lt. Col. (Dr.) Kyle Weld, director of endourolog at the 59th Surgical Specialties Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Josie Kemp)
