Robot surgery used on throat tumours for first time in Scotland

A security guard has become one of the first patients in Scotland to have a tumour cut out of his throat by a robot.
Peter Simpson was awake, talking and eating ice-cream just five hours after his tonsil and part of his tongue were removed.
The 63-year-old was home within 24 hours of the pioneering surgery at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in his home city of Glasgow.
“I’m feeling good and I’m really quite surprised,” he told STV News after the procedure, which our cameras were allowed to film.
