This unique opportunity for knowledge exchange and global collaboration will significantly benefit surgeons and ultimately improve patient care in Latin America. Renowned French surgeon Pr. Thierry Flam, who has participated in numerous test runs using the XR surgical solution, commented, "The XR Surgical Solution is a game-changer in the field of surgery and remote medical assistance in general. It has the potential to revolutionize surgical and emergency medicine training and practice, leading to safer surgeries and improved patient outcomes. I am excited to see its adoption and impact in Latin America and beyond."
