Hospiten Rambla University Hospital has taken a further step towards medical excellence with the incorporation of the Da Vinci XI surgical system, a state-of-the-art robotic surgery platform that will enable high-precision operations to be carried out in the specialities of general surgery, gynaecology and urology. This innovative technology reinforces the centre's commitment to quality care and patient safety, positioning it at the forefront of minimally invasive and precision medicine.
The Da Vinci Xi surgical system represents the latest evolution in minimally invasive surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon manually controls the controls on the console located in the operating theatre, while the system accurately translates these movements into actions of the robotic arms.
The system, superior to previous versions, offers multiple advantages both for the patient, such as minimal incisions, better aesthetic results or a reduced need for transfusions, and for the surgeon, such as optimised access to complex anatomical areas, greater precision in anatomical dissection or elimination of physiological tremor, as well as for the healthcare system and the community, by reducing hospitalisation time, optimising the use of resources and reducing the incidence of complications, thus improving patient safety.
Specifically, features that differentiate the Da Vinci XI from previous versions include longer, slimmer arms, a greater range of motion, better access to the patient's anatomy and an optimised design, which offers greater flexibility and improved system configuration, making it ideal for complex procedures. The robot is also designed for operations that require access to multiple quadrants of the body, making it the most suitable for complex surgical interventions that require greater dexterity and flexibility.
Da Vinci Xi in figures
In 2024, the number of installations in Spain exceeded 1,400 units, bringing the total number of da Vinci robotic systems available in hospitals worldwide to more than 9,000. In Spain and Portugal, the da Vinci robotic system has demonstrated steady growth.
Thus, this minimally invasive surgery system was developed with the aim of offering surgeons the most advanced technology, allowing them to treat complex pathologies with unparalleled precision and guaranteeing patients less invasive procedures and faster recovery times.
In conclusion, Hospiten is committed to medical excellence with the incorporation of the Da Vinci XI surgical robot at the Hospiten Rambla University Hospital.
