We follow the first patient in the UK to be operated on using new robotic surgery technology.
It’s a revolutionary technology where the surgeon can "feel" the patient through robotic arms.
Until now, a surgeon has had to rely on sight and skill when working out how much to push and pull during the operation.
But for the first time a new form of robotic technology has been used to give that surgeon a sense of touch.
We went to Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital in south London to meet the patient and watch the surgery.
