Charitable donations have helped pay for Addenbrooke's Hospital's first robot surgeon.
Charities including the Prostate Cancer Support Association and local community organisations helped the Cambridge hospital to raise £650,000.
The robot can operate on prostate cancer patients through tiny keyhole openings, reducing hospital stays to as little as 24 hours.
"The robot allows us to do a type of keyhole surgery that is minimally invasive and very precise," said David Neal, professor of surgical oncology at Addenbrooke's.
