Ain Hospital achieves 300 Da Vinci Xi robotic surgeries and 76% of gynecological diseases are performed
Sep 25, 2024
Ain Medical Foundation Ain Hospital announced on the 25th that it has achieved 300 robotic surgeries for the first time as an Incheon hospital (excluding university hospitals).
According to Ain Hospital, the Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery system was introduced at the end of 2022 and robotic surgery was performed, and it recently exceeded 300 cases in a year and nine months. Except for university hospitals, it is the highest number of cases in Incheon.
The number of robotic surgeries at Ain Hospital is continuously growing every year, with 2 cases in December 2022, 99 cases in 2023, and 199 cases in 2024 (January-September). In terms of weight, 76% of gynecological diseases such as uterine myoma removal and hysterectomy are distributed, and 24% of colorectal and anastomotic diseases such as inguinal hernia, abdominal wall hernia, gallbladder resection, appendectomy, and pelvic organ exodus are distributed.
Ain Hospital is also conducting simultaneous surgery with the cooperation of obstetrics and gynecology and colorectal surgery. In August, two specialists from obstetrics and colorectal surgery performed hysterectomy and gallbladder resection on a female patient in her 50s who had been suffering from uterine myoma and cholecystitis for a long time, and successfully completed the surgery in about two hours.
Robotic surgery can secure a clear field of view compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery and can perform detailed movements that could not be performed in conventional laparoscopic surgery because there is no shaking of hands.
In particular, Ain Hospital has many medical staff with extensive experience in gynecology, including the world's first successful abdominal wall hernia robot surgery, and patients are coming from Korea as well as from overseas.
In addition, the Da Vinci SP robotic surgery machine is also expected to be operated from October, enabling single-hole surgery.
Oh Ik-hwan, chairman of the Ain Medical Foundation, said "We will ensure that medical staff with high-level surgical skills can perform the best treatment without waiting for long for university hospital surgery.'
