Karachi's famous Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center (JPMC) has introduced robotic surgery for the very first time in its history, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel on Tuesday.  

JPMC spokesperson Jahangir Durrani confirmed that a 34-year-old patient underwent a cutting-edge gallstone surgery utilizing the latest robotic technology.
