Dr. Robert Filler was ‘a giant of pediatric surgery'
TORONTO -- SICK CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL -- Dr. Robert M. Filler, Director of general surgery at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (also Professor of Surgery U of T), used a high-speed broadcast link to help surgeons in Tokyo perform a delicate operation on a 13-month-old girl to help her breathe. His view of the 45-minute operation through a tiny camera inserted in the girl's throat was at time jerky -- and slightly delayed as the signal raced halfway round the world -- but Dr. Filler said the picture quality was more than adequate. Dr. Filler is pictured Aug. 6, 1997 in front of two television monitors used during teleconferencing -- on one screen, a closeup of the procedure would be seen, while the other could be used for a wider general angle. photo by Fred Lum
