Historic Breakthrough: First Pediatric Robotic Brain Surgery in Bolivia

Summary for the University TV Channel Interview Topic: First Pediatric Robotic Brain Surgery in Bolivia Using NaoTracS Guests: • Dr. Jorge Brun Sanjinés – Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Head of the Neurosurgery Department at Hospital del Niño • Dr. Igor Gonzalo Toco Olivares – Neurosurgeon, member of the surgical team The interview presented the historic achievement in Bolivia, where the team successfully completed the first pediatric robotic brain surgery using the NaoTracS system. The doctors discussed the case of a 9-year-old patient who had a tumor located in a critical area of the brain (midbrain/mesencephalon). Dr. Jorge Brun Sanjinés emphasized that without the robot, the surgery would not have been possible. He explained how the use of NaoTracS allowed the team to achieve extreme precision, perform a minimally invasive procedure, avoid any complications, and complete the surgery in an exceptionally short time. The patient woke up just 30 minutes after the operation and did not require admission to intensive care, showing an excellent and stable recovery. The interview also highlighted that Bolivia became the first country in the Americas to perform this type of pediatric brain surgery with such advanced robotic technology. The surgery was performed free of charge under the social surgery program, offering opportunities to patients who otherwise could not access such treatments. The doctors reflected on the importance of training more neurosurgeons in robotic-assisted surgery and expanding access to this innovation so that more lives can be saved across the country. They closed by reminding viewers that combining technology with solidarity can transform healthcare and bring real hope to those who need it most.
