Sun Medical Center Opens Robotic Surgery Center After Surpassing 1,000 da Vinci Xi Procedures

Sun Medical Center has surpassed 1,000 da Vinci Xi procedures and opened a Robotic Surgery Center, about five months after introducing the system.

According to the hospital on November 3, the da Vinci Xi was first used in April for prostate cancer surgery in the Department of Urology. The robot provides high-resolution 3D vision and precise instrument control, enabling delicate resection and manipulation and significantly lowering the risk of complications.

To strengthen its precision medicine capabilities with the da Vinci Xi, the hospital appointed Dr. Byun Seung-won, Chief of Gynecology, as Director of the Robotic Surgery Center. Dr. Byun will oversee the center's operations and the robotic surgery care system.

The hospital plans to perform robotic surgery across a range of fields, including surgery for uterine conditions in gynecology, prostate cancer surgery in urology, and gastrointestinal surgery.

Through these efforts, the hospital will further systematize its robotic surgery care and strengthen its surgical capabilities for a variety of conditions through collaboration between departments. It will also provide personalized surgery tailored to each patient's condition and disease characteristics, and expand its foundation for precision medicine.
