The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust conducted the pioneering treatment on the patient, Dean Walter, to treat his advanced rectal cancer.</p>
<p>The 41-year-old from south London underwent the radical procedure, which removes all of the organs from the pelvic area, with robotic surgical technology – believed to be for the first time in Britain.</p>

<p>The trust said that traditionally the surgery would have involved a large incision – from the chest down to the pubic bone – but using the robotic technology meant the surgery was “minimally invasive”.</p>
<p>Surgeons at the trust operated on the patient using four robotic arms equipped with surgical equipment, controlled from a remote console.</p>
<p>After making small incisions to access the abdomen and pelvis, they used the arms to remove tissue and organs effected by the cancer.</p>
