“It’s about rethinking how we deliver care, making it more precise, safer, and better for everyone.”
The surgical team has used the robot for 370 abdominal wall cases since it was introduced in summer 2023.
It was also used to train surgeons in robotic abdominal wall surgery, with surgeons from around the world spending up to a year at the hospital to gain experience.
“Ultimately the robot offers great treatment for patients and the more people we can get trained in the techniques the better,” Prof Sanders said.
