Last May 2023, Rob Surgical reached a new milestone by completing the first series of operations on living patients in collaboration with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.
Three radical nephrectomies were performed with satisfactory results and no adverse events were detected after a 30-day follow-up. The medical team was led by Dr. Lluís Peri and Dr. Mireia Musquera, both specialists from the Urology service of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.
During the interventions, all the advantages of the Bitrack surgical robot could be verified: minimal impact in the operating room, patient accessibility, fast installation, fast draping, docking process, open robotic platform, hybrid surgery, ergonomics and usability.
Through this compilation of images we show you the preparation before starting the intervention. In the second part, published in this same blog, you can consult the images of the operation.
