Robotic surgery

Clínica Girona has a Da Vinci robotic system that allows for minimally invasive surgical procedures with great precision and control, resulting in the best result from the interventions and faster patient recovery. Our team of experts assesses the patient's suitability for robotic surgery based on their pathology and designs a personalised strategy, taking advantage of the benefits offered by this technology.

This surgical system allows surgeons to perform complex operations using small incisions using a robotic console that controls the instruments and a 3D high-definition camera. The surgeon, via the console's actuators, controls the robot's arms, which reproduce and amplify the ordered movements.

This is a technique that involves a great added value for patients:

  • Reduction of pain and risk of infection.
  • Less bleeding, less risk of complications in the intervention.
  • Smaller scars.
  • Less recovery time and fewer days in hospital.
  • Best overall clinical results.

It should be highlighted that various studies have demonstrated that surgical interventions with Da Vinci robotic surgery involve a 70% reduction in the risk of blood transfusion%, a decrease in the rate of postoperative complications of between 30% and 40%%, and a hospital stay of 1 to 2 days fewer than with conventional techniques.

This technique is used in a total of over 100 procedures correspond to these specialisms:

Urological surgery.
Gynaecological surgery.
General surgery.
Bariatric surgery.
Head and neck surgery.
Thoracic surgery.
Paediatric surgery.

In this regard, the platform enhances and increases the surgeon's skills, reducing possible tremors and perfecting all movements, but it does not replace them, it cannot be programmed and always needs a direct command from the surgeon to perform surgical manoeuvres.

The platform includes an integrated communication system between the console and the patient cart, with microphones and speakers, which makes it easier for the surgeon to be in contact with their team without having to remove their head from the viewer. The console can be adapted to the physical characteristics of each surgeon, creating a more comfortable position during the operation to minimise fatigue.

Clínica Girona is backing this platform by technological innovation, care excellence, the continuous improvement of the patient experience, and the attraction of medical talent present in our territory.
