Nigerian Performs Landmark Robotic Surgery in United States

Fayetteville Veteran Affairs Medical Centre, North Carolina (NC), in collaboration with the Department of Defense (DoD), has broken new ground in the field of medicine and surgery by recording its first robotic surgery using the Da Vinci surgical technology.

The Da Vinci surgical technology is a state of the arts technology designed to enable surgeons perform complex surgeries through minor incisions using minimally inversive technique.

Da Vinci technology was approved by the FDA in 2000 as the first surgery system technology for general laparoscopic surgery in US hospitals, according to RoboticOncology.com, and since then, the use of this cutting-edge technology by surgeons has been on the rise due to its stated effect on cost reduction.

The surgeon at the console, steering this pioneer joint project is Nigerian-born prodigy and celebrated surgeon, Dr. Obinna Igwilo, who worked with a team of clinicians and other employees of the Fayetteville Coastal Healthcare system.

Igwilo, a native of Abia State, Nigeria, is a pioneer of the robotic surgery, which he had been working on since 2014.

He has worked with a team of clinicians and other employees of the Fayetteville Healthcare Centre. His efficiency was described by his employers as an “active engagement with the training of medical students and surgical residents while also serving as clinical Assistant professor of surgery with Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicines”.

The surgeon’s robotic surgery would remain a historic event been the first to be performed in the 80-year-old hospital. The exploit of Igwilo in medical practice has brought pride and inspiration in the heart of both the young and old, his success and accomplishment has been recognised by his Alma mater, Ngwa High school Aba and the school has been in a festive mood.

The ground breaking surgery in North Carolina by Nigeria- born surgeon shows clear testimony of the leading role led by Nigeria doctors both at home and abroad in promoting health and also advancing the cause of humanity.

Igwilo holds the fellowships of The Royal Colleges of Surgeons (FRCS) Glasgow and Edinburgh, and American College of Surgeons (FACS).

A member of SAGES Society of American Gastro-intestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, with special surgical interests in Robotic/laparoscopic/minimally invasive surgery; Endocrine and Colorectal surgery, Igwilo has been performing robotic surgeries since 2014.

A consultant General Surgeon at VAMC and WAMC, he has been cited by his employers for his “active engagement with the training of medical students and surgical residents while also serving as clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery with Campbell University School of Osteopathic medicine”

Igwilo attended Ngwa High School Aba in Abia State, where he was nicknamed ‘Archimedes” – after the Greek Mathematician and Physicist – because of the ease with which he handled math the very elusive subject loathed by many of his peers. He graduated from Ngwa High School in 1980 with a distinction. The same year, he was admitted to the University of Nigeria College of Medicine and Surgery, graduating in 1986 with MB.BCh.

Following his Internship at University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, and Clinical externship at Whipps Cross University Hospital in London, UK, among numerous clinical exposures in Europe and America, the budding MD emerged onto the US medical ecosystem, making sure to take a front seat in the ever-changing and technologically-driven world of medicine and surgery.

When the price of garri goes up, you always blame Buhari, when you know he neither fries garri nor distributes the product. In fact, he may not even consume the product.

Why can't you do same when a rail project under his watch sponsors Nigerians for training abroad?

GENEGIRIA:
Who told you? Stop writing crap! The fact that Nigeria’s population is 200 million doesn’t necessarily translate into a bigger market. Don’t forget 120 million Nigerians are considered very very poor. Every 6 minutes, a nigerian falls into the poverty trap. Market is not population. Market is about purchasing power.

It is still an audio thing.We pray it materialises.
Awon Osuites have a lot of catching up to the Afonjazees to do..

NGpatriot:
Stop venting, all I did was ask you to support your fake rumors and trash with facts, not den say den say like market women..

NGpatriot:
So, I should help you to prove that your lies and fake story that doesn't exit is actually true?

Stop spewing fake and tribal rubbish that you can not support with facts.

Comedians and liars.

ukahrawah:
This is the all important news we SEasterners want to hear.

We have all it takes to be great. Rail/gas pipeline networks across the SE zone, men this is all it takes to turn things around.

Everyone should please keep their eyes on these all important projects. We can do it. Kudos to these great sons & daughters of SE.

NGpatriot:
It is absolutely fake.


Unless of course you have facts to back it up with...which I know you don't have because it's fake.

Nwannem nwanyi, I'm married to a Yoruba and I'm from Enugwu Ukwu, I'm happy in marriage. Ask God for your husband and not necessarily from your tribe.

AwkaetitiBabe:
She married igbo... That's good. I got this inner phobia of marrying outside my tribe

Trump is not politically intelligent under 24hrs, Trump has tweeted 63 times talking about the radicals on the left instead, addressing tje pressing charges against him.

Trump is not a smart guy politically , Buhari is politically smarter than trump, may not agree with me is your choice.
