Ilsan Paik Hospital introduces Asia's first Da Vinci 5-linked DV surgery unit...Expect to improve safety and accuracy
May 23, 2025
Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital has installed a 'baxter TS7000dV operating table' that works with the latest robotic surgery equipment, Da Vinci 5 system.
The operating table is the only equipment compatible with Da Vinci 5, and it is the first case to be installed by Ilsan Paik Hospital not only in Korea but also in Asia. With this introduction, patients can undergo safer and more precise surgery, and medical staff have a faster and more efficient surgical environment.
The biggest advantage of this operating table is that the patient's posture can be adjusted freely even during surgery. In conventional robotic surgery, since the patient's posture had to be kept fixed, side effects such as compression pain or shortness of breath could occur during long surgery. This system has the advantage of reducing the physical burden and increasing the likelihood of recovery for patients who need long surgery by safely changing their posture even when the robot is connected.
In particular, it can provide a safer and faster recovery surgical environment for patients in urology or obstetrics and gynecology surgery where body position change is essential.
The DV operating table is designed to withstand up to 454kg, allowing stable surgery regardless of body type. In addition, various angles of posture adjustment are possible depending on the patient's condition, so customized surgery is realized.
Through this, patients who had restrictions on surgery, such as children, the elderly, and highly obese patients, can receive safer robotic surgery.
Shin Yong-chan, director of the Robot Surgery Center at Ilsan Paik Hospital, said, "This is a symbolic example of Ilsan Paik Hospital taking the lead in improving patient safety and treatment quality in the domestic robotic surgery field. With this introduction, we expect to improve treatment results through precise robotic surgery in various fields such as urology, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery." he said.
The DV operating table is equipped with sophisticated Collision Avoidance to prevent accidents in which the head and leg plates of the operating table collide with the main body of the operating table. This prevented unexpected risk situations during surgery and secured patient safety.
It can also reduce the efficiency and fatigue of medical staff. The intuitive button-based interface and modular structure for easy operation by medical staff can also shorten the operation preparation time, contributing to the improvement of overall surgical efficiency.
Director Choi Won-joo said, "This introduction of the operating table has created a treatment environment that puts the safety and comfort of patients first, beyond just securing technology. We will continue to innovate to enable safer surgery, less pain, and faster return to daily life using cutting-edge technology."," he said.
Meanwhile, Ilsan Paik Hospital introduced Da Vinci 5, the fourth robot surgery model in Korea and the first in Gyeonggi Province, in March this year.
