WWU - Peter Leßmann Münster surgeons use new operating method for the first time anywhere in the world / Research at Münster University strengthens medical digitalisation in the operating theatre It is a great success for robotic microsurgery not only in Münster but worldwide - both for medicine and for science: a team led by scientists Dr. Maximilian Kückelhaus and Prof. Tobias Hirsch from the Centre for Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Münster has carried out the first completely robot-supported microsurgical operations on humans. The physicians used an innovative operating method in which a new type of operations robot, designed especially for microsurgery, is networked with a robotic microscope. This approach makes it possible for the operating surgeon to be completely taken out of the operating area. The use of robots for clinical research is undertaken in collaboration with Münster University Hospital and Hornheide Specialist Clinic. The experts have been using this method for a good two months.
