"The surgeon's outside, he controls the robot from the outside, and does all the surgery using the robot - it'll be interesting, as long as it all goes to plan I'll be happy," he said.Ben Jackson, a consultant urologist who treated Mr Elton, said the robotic aid meant procedures could be "minimally invasive" to help patients recover more quickly.
