Lindbergh Operation
The Lindbergh Operation, named in honor of American aviator Charles Lindbergh, was the first ever transatlantic surgery. In 2001 Doctors Michel Gagner and Jacques Marescaux removed the gall bladder of a 68-year-old woman in Strasbourg, France from New York. The network used for the transmission of the signals was an ATM fiber optic connection provided by France Télécom.
