Major Medical (and Robotic!) Breakthrough in Morocco

The Sheikh Khalifa International University Hospital in Casablanca reached a historic milestone by performing the first robot-assisted visceral surgery.

On July 24, Dr. Choukri El Mehdi performed a rectal resection to treat colorectal cancer using the Da Vinci surgical robot. The Da Vinci robot is renowned worldwide for its precision and minimally invasive capabilities.

This success marks the second phase of robotic surgery deployment in Morocco, following a series of urological operations.
