It was performed as early as the 1950s, although the technology associated with stabilizing the cardiac structure during the procedure has become more sophisticated.
On September 7, 2001, Operation Lindbergh culminated in the first complete remote surgery.The procedure performed was a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal), considered the standard of care in minimally invasive surgery.
The invention of the MIR (Minimally Invasive Surgery) technique is attributed to Dr. Erich Mühe, a German surgeon, who performed the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1985. This technique revolutionized surgery by allowing procedures to be performed through small incisions, leading to faster recovery times and fewer complications for patients.

The Da Vinci Surgical Robot was developed by Intuitive Surgical, a company founded in 1995. The primary driving force behind its creation was Dr. Frederic Moll, one of the co-founders, who envisioned a robotic system to enhance minimally invasive surgery. The system was first introduced to the market in 2000 and has since revolutionized surgical practices worldwide.
