The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bundang Seoul National University Hospital began its first da Vinci robotic surgery case in December 2007, surpassed 1,000 cases in 2021, and has since maintained a steep growth in surgical performance, exceeding 2,000 cases within two years.

Robotic surgery enables precise operations deep inside the body based on tremor correction, a wide range of joint motion, and delicate joint movements, which can reduce bleeding and complications during surgery. Even difficult cases such as large uterine fibroids or severe adhesions, which previously required open surgery, can now be operated on without opening the abdomen, offering the advantage of faster recovery.

Professor Lee Jeong-ryeol, head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, stated, "Under the active guidance of the obstetrics and gynecology faculty, we conduct simulation training and preclinical education every quarter, and plan to establish an 'Obstetrics and Gynecology Robotic Surgery Training Center' to enable systematic education and nurture talent in the future." He added, "We will do our best to provide customized treatment that considers not only surgical outcomes but also the quality of life of patients after surgery."
