629 First-in-Human Transcontinental Robotic HIFU Telesurgery: A New Era in Globalizing Focal Treatment for Prostate Cancer

Dr. Reuben Olivares

A major problem in healthcare today is the unequal access to high-quality surgical care, particularly in underserved areas, which leads to disparities in outcomes and limited opportunities for surgical training. Telesurgery offers a powerful solution by overcoming geographic barriers, allowing expert surgeons to operate remotely while also enabling real-time collaboration and education. The innovation lies in its ability to standardize surgical care across locations, extend minimally invasive and image-guided procedures to patients regardless of geography, reduce medical costs while improving patient comfort, and create new opportunities for surgical collaboration and continuous advancement worldwide. This pioneer, first in-human robotic HIFU telesurgery, uniting continents and overcoming time zone barriers demonstrates the transformative potential of technology to create a globally interconnected surgical community—one that expands access to care while advancing precision, education, and innovation
