Gyeongsang National University Hospital achieves 1,000 robotic surgeries in more than three years
Mar 05, 2025
Gyeongsang National University Hospital (Hospital Director Ahn Sung-ki) Robot Surgery Center (Center Director Shin Jung-kyu) announced that 1,000 robotic surgeries have been achieved.
Gyeongsang National University Hospital safely completed its 1000th robotic surgery on the 25th of last month, proving that it is a base hospital for robotic surgery in western Gyeongnam, starting with Professor Hwajeongseok's robotic prostatectomy in January 2022.
Gyeongsang National University Hospital, which introduced the Da Vinci Xi, the fourth-generation state-of-the-art robotic surgery machine, in November 2021 for the first time in western Gyeongnam, opened the robotic surgery center in January of the following year to build a safe surgical system.
Since its opening, the robotic surgery center has successfully performed robotic surgery for various diseases such as ovarian cysts, uterine cancer, uterine cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer, as well as high-level cancer surgery such as prostate cancer, uterine myoma, cholelithiasis, and hernia.
Shin Jung-kyu, Director of the Center for Robot Surgery, said, `The Center for Robot Surgery at Kyungsang National University Hospital will do its best to provide safe surgical methods to patients through continuous research on robotic surgery so that they can take responsibility for healthy lives in the region" he expressed his ambition.
On the other hand, robotic surgery has the advantage of less bleeding and pain and faster recovery because it can perform more sophisticated procedures using 3D high-resolution cameras and robot arms without hand shaking, so the number of surgeries continues to increase not only in Korea but also around the world.
