- Once telesurgery has been demonstrated across 11,000 kilometres, what comes next? During ERUS Spotlight, Dr. Youness Ahallal reflects on the Shanghai-Casablanca telesurgery experience, during which he worked with approximately 200 ms of latency. He also discusses what followed in Morocco: using telesurgery to operate on patients remotely and support surgical colleagues based in other cities. Together, these experiences show how the conversation around telesurgery is moving beyond distance towards exploring how the technology can
- AI in robotic surgery holds great promise. But can it prove its value? Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the operating room. Yet innovation alone is not enough. The real question is whether it delivers measurable benefits for surgery and patient care. During WRSE12, Dr. Daniele Amparore and Dr. ir. Pieter De Backer will examine the step from promise to proof: How should the impact of surgical AI be measured? Which outcomes truly matter? And when does AI support the surgeon rather than add another layer of complexity? This
- What happens when an unexpected diagnosis changes the way you look back at a surgical case? During ERUS Spotlight, Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie reflects on a particularly unusual case involving a patient who was found to have a pheochromocytoma. The case is a strong reminder of how quickly the unexpected can enter the operating room, and why clinical judgement, preparation and an experienced team remain essential when things do not go according to plan.

- That’s a wrap on ERUS Spotlight 2026! Two days. Four surgical cases. One collaboration bringing the insights from ERUS 2026 beyond the congress floor. Together, Surgquest and ERUS created ERUS Spotlight to revisit some of the congress’ most interesting surgical moments, bring experts around the table and turn live surgery into conversations that continue beyond the OR. Today, ERUS Spotlight returned for its second episode, taking a closer look at two RAPN procedures: Dr. Ketan Badani’s RAPN on Edge Medical and Dr. Fabrizio Dal
- There was nobody to train me.” When Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie began performing robotic surgery, there was no established pathway to follow. Hardly anyone in Europe had experience with the technology, and even the American colleague who assisted him had performed only four cases. So how do you learn when no one can teach you? By combining experience in open and laparoscopic surgery, training on cadavers and learning alongside a small international group of early adopters. “We were real pioneers.” In this episode of Surgquest Voices,
- Day 1 of ERUS Spotlight is now available on Surgquest. What happens when the congress day ends, but the conversation is far from over? Today, ERUS Spotlight brought together leading experts to revisit some of the most interesting moments from the operating rooms at ERUS 2026. From RARP with AI incorporation on Toumai to adrenalectomy on Hugo, the panel looked back at key surgical moments, discussed different approaches and shared their perspectives beyond the live procedures.
