The first patients have had surgery using a multi-million-pound robot at a hospital in Kent.
At the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate, Mandy Lee was the first person to have a robotic procedure using the system, named Hugo.
Lee, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer, said: “It was a bit of a scary thought, I hadn’t even considered the possibility of robotic surgery, but I just wanted the cancer gone and I wasn’t put off.”
