At the JGH’s first robotic colorectal surgery on January 18, Dr. Allison Pang (at left, near the rear wall) sits at a console, looks through a viewfinder and guides the movements of the four robotic arms (at centre, over the operating table).

Observing the surgery is Dr. Susie Lau (right), an expert in robotic surgery for gynecologic oncology.
