Robot-assisted surgery

The UKC Ljubljana medical centre has performed a thousand robot-assisted surgeries since it first started using a robot surgery system in 2018. Hospital officials say robotic surgery has met all expectations and even surpassed them in some areas.

The urological team at St. Marina Hospital in Pleven performed a unique for the country dual robot-assisted surgery on a 57-year-old patient with two malignancies - prostate cancer and left kidney tumor, said the press office of the hospital.

Surgeons from Bulgaria's Pleven have successfully performed two oncology surgeries, using the latest generation of the Da Vinci robotic system, announced the Bulgarian National Radio. 

Renowned urologist and healthcare advocate David Samadi, considered one of the world’s top robotic surgeons in dealing with prostate cancer, will bring his and his team’s expertise to Cyprus next month.

With more than 5,600 robotic prostate operations under his belt, Dr. Samadi ranks in a very exclusive category of physicians worldwide.
