Dr Obinna Igwillo, who hails from Abia state, has broken a very big record in the field of medicine. He worked with a team of doctors and other medical personnel to carry out a brilliant robotic surgery. The operation was carried out in a collaboration between Fayetteville Veteran Affairs Medical Centre, North Carolina and the Department of Defense. The whole process was done with a robotic system that used a special process called the Da Vinci surgical technology. It should be noted that Da Vinci surgical technology is a special tech that was made to allow surgeons to perform a very difficult operation where there are reduced incisions through the use of inversive technique. Comedian Bello Kreb speaks against his colleagues objectifying women with their jokes The technology carries out complex surgeries with minimum incisions.
