Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital Achieves 100 Robotic Surgeries in 4 Months

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital announced on the 5th that it has achieved 100 robotic surgeries within four months of starting robotic surgery.

Robotic surgery replaces traditional open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, enabling precise and accurate operations by rendering the surgical area in high-definition 3D images. It has joints like a human hand and arm, allowing free movement and making it easy to operate deep inside the body. The small incision size minimizes infection, pain, and hospitalization period, making it patient-friendly.

The Robotic Surgery Center at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital applies robotic surgery not only to high-difficulty severe diseases such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, and thyroid cancer but also to mild conditions like cholelithiasis and hernia.

Robotic surgery relies heavily on the synergy between the robot's precision and the skilled medical staff performing the surgery. Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital introduced the latest model, the 'da Vinci Xi,' upon its opening, and experienced medical staff with over 1,000 surgeries provide safe, precise, and optimal treatment.

Lee Yong-sung, head of the Department of Urology and the Robotic Surgery Center, said, “Thanks to the efforts of various robotic surgery medical staff, we were able to safely achieve 100 surgeries in a short period,” adding, “We will become a patient-centered, safe robotic surgery center that helps rapid recovery without postoperative complications.”
