Korea University Guro Hospital achieves 5,000 robotic surgeries...Leading innovation in high-level single-hole robotic surgery
May 15, 2025
Following Korea University Guro Hospital's surpassing 2,000 single-hole (SP) robotic surgeries in January this year, the total number of robotic surgeries was 5,000.
Korea University Guro Hospital is performing robotic surgery in various fields such as obstetrics and gynecology, hepatopancreatic surgery, cardiovascular thoracic surgery, urology, colorectal anastomosis, and breast endocrine surgery, continuously expanding the scope of robotic surgery, and improving patients' rapid recovery and satisfaction.
In particular, Korea University Guro Hospital is pioneering the field of high-level single-hole robotic surgery and has established itself as a unique medical institution in the field of 'single-hole robotic surgery'.
It has the highest number of single-hole thoracic robotic surgery collections in the world, and the highest number of single-hole robotic sacral fixation collections, which are high-level obstetrics and gynecology surgery, is also the highest in the world.
In addition, it is the world's first successful single-hole robot esophageal cancer surgery, plays a leading role in establishing single-hole robot surgery as a standard in esophageal cancer surgery, and is leading the development of robotic surgery by accumulating extensive technology and clinical experience in the field of high-level surgery, such as succeeding the first robot single-hole enlarged cholecystectomy in Korea. According to this reputation, Korea University Guro Hospital was designated as the world's first single-hole thoracic robotic surgery education center' and the single-hole disease robotic surgery education center' in March and June 2023, respectively, and is currently teaching single-hole robotic surgery techniques to medical staff around the world, including the United States, France, and Japan.
Director of Hospital Min Byung-wook "Daegu Hospital has outstanding capabilities worldwide in single-hole robotic surgery, especially in high-level surgery."We will continue to lead the innovation of high-level single-hole robotic surgery and fulfill our responsibilities as a hospital that leads global robotic surgery standards along with the realization of patient-centered precision medical care."."
Kim Jong-wook, Director of the Center for Robot Surgery (Professor of Urology), said "We will do our best to expand the scope of robotic surgery so that robotic surgery can be performed in the treatment of various diseases, and to reduce patient waiting time for surgery and provide professional counseling and customized management through the One-Stop Center." he said.
Meanwhile, Korea University Guro Hospital, which introduced the Da Vinci Xi in 2014, introduced the Da Vinci SP, a single-hole robotic surgery machine in 2020, and introduced an additional single-hole robotic surgery machine last year to meet the demand for single-hole robotic surgery patients. In addition, 'Robot Surgery One-Stop Center' has been opened to provide detailed explanations from preoperative preparations to postoperative management to improve the convenience of patients.
