BOOM! Humanoid Robots Just Performed Surgery for the First Time! REAL VIDEO! In a groundbreaking preclinical breakthrough, researchers at UC San Diego have achieved what many thought was years away: teleoperated humanoid robots successfully completing live surgeries. Published in Nature, the study marks the world’s first use of humanoid robots for in-vivo laparoscopic procedures on large animals (pigs). Two separate surgeries were completed: Key Details •. Procedure: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) •. Team 1: Human surgeon + one humanoid robot (the robot performed core tasks while the human assisted) •. Team 2: Two humanoid robots working together with no human at the operating table •. Robots: Custom “Surgie” humanoids (~5 ft tall, ~60 lbs) using standard surgical tools •. Control: Fully teleoperated by surgeons (remote human control, not autonomous) •. Significance: First demonstration of humanoid robots handling real surgical workflows in a live setting, proving compatibility with existing OR tools and spaces This proof shows humanoid robots could one day help address surgeon shortages, enable remote procedures in rural areas, battlefields, or even space all at a fraction of the cost and space of traditional surgical robots like da Vinci. Read the full publication here: Project page with video: The future of surgery just got a whole lot more interesting. And medical cost for the first time in decades will be scheduled to go down, much further down.

At the age of thirteen, in the late 1940s, Thomas Fogarty, newly bereft of his father, found himself employed at Cincinnati’s Good Samaritan Hospital, sorting supplies and learning the rhythms of the place from the ground up. With time and a certain doggedness, he moved from the stockroom to the operating room, working his way up to the role of scrub technician, where he stood at the surgeon’s elbow, handing over instruments. Back then, the approach to removing blood clots from an artery was crude and perilous. It was a bit like a ritual sacrifice—that involved slicing the artery wide open in a procedure that could easily stretch over nine hours and leave the patient with incisions from the abdomen down both legs. The outcome, more often than not, was dismal. Many didn’t survive, many others ended up with amputations. It was during those hours at the operating table, observing the struggle of clot removal, that Fogarty began to wonder if there might be a way to make the process a bit less medieval. He retreated to his garage with little more than a length of tubing, a surgical glove, and an idea. There, he crafted a tool so simple that it verged on the audacious. He started with a urethral catheter, flexible yet sturdy enough to navigate through a clot. To the end of the catheter, he attached a tiny balloon made from the finger of a latex glove. Once past the clot, the balloon could be inflated with saline from the other end of the tube, expanding it to the width of the artery and then pulled back—bringing the clot along with it. The device was so simple, so staggeringly clever, that when he demonstrated its use, the surgeons were equal parts gobsmacked and irritated. With it, clot removal (embolectomy) was no longer a barbaric ritual but a neat, almost gentlemanly procedure. Like removing a cork from a bottle. Thomas Fogarty went on to become a cardiovascular surgeon. That little embolectomy catheter he dreamt up became the very first minimally invasive surgical device. Here’s a video showing how it’s done: through a small incision in the groin, under local anesthesia.

I cannot stay silent any longer. What is happening at Kenyatta National Hospital is not just mismanagement it is deliberate cruelty. While billions are spent on endless building projects, our children lie in wards with no medicine, no hope. Parents are forced to pay cash for even basic blood tests. SHA will cover one radiotherapy session for an inpatient, yet can cover over 30 sessions for outpatients. This is not oversight it is a calculated injustice. The radiotherapy machine keeps breaking down. And when it does, children are sent to Texas, a facility owned by the very doctor who runs KNH’s radiotherapy department. Ask yourself: is the machine failing by accident, or is it being sabotaged so profit can be made off the suffering of children? At Texas, consultation alone costs 4,000 shillings, and every test is another charge. KNH continues to increase consultation fees while families cannot even afford 1,550 shillings. SHA limits admissions to 40 children, sending the rest home to return the next Monday. Meanwhile, cancer does not wait. Cancer does not negotiate. Every delayed referral, every broken machine, every denied admission is a death sentence. We are losing over ten children every week in oncology wards. Ten innocent lives wasted. Ten families shattered. Ten futures stolen. A child needing 20 radiotherapy sessions receives 2, then the machine breaks down. Weeks pass. No referral. No treatment. And SHA claims it is “doing its best.” No it is failing. Willfully. This is not misfortune. This is negligence dressed up as bureaucracy. This is the deliberate destruction of lives. And we will not stand by while our children are sacrificed on the altar of profit and incompetence. SHA has failed. Kenyatta National Hospital has failed. Our government has failed. And history will remember who allowed our children to die while pretending to care.
