H Plus Yangji Hospital Establishs Robotic Surgery Center
Aug 05, 2025
H Plus Yangji Hospital recently established a"robot surgery center" involving more than 20 professional medical staff, including surgery, obesity surgery, and urology." As a result, the latest accurate and safe 'robot surgery system' is upgraded to the next level.
Starting with the first robotic cholecystectomy in May last year, the hospital surpassed 300 cases of robotic surgery as of the end of July this year.
Robotic surgery allows sophisticated and safe surgery without hand shaking by controlling the instrument by moving the robot arm precisely when the surgeon manipulates the surgical console. It is possible to observe the surgical site in three dimensions with high-definition 3D images, which increases surgical accuracy and is excellent in securing surgical vision.
There are also clinical studies showing that patient satisfaction is high and recurrence rates are low based on the advantages of minimal incision, pain reduction, minimization of bleeding, and rapid recovery. Therefore, it can be an excellent option for patients who need high-level surgery.
At H Plus Yangji Hospital, about 15% of all surgeries are performed by robotic surgery, of which ▲ robotic cholecystectomy ▲ robotic hernia surgery ▲ robotic obesity metabolic surgery (gastric sleeve resection) accounts for 76% of the total robotic surgery. In particular, it is expanding its robotic surgery to various fields such as kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and prostate hypertrophy, as well as stomach, liver, rectum, small intestine, and colon resection, and biliary cyst.
Bae Byeong-gu, director of the 1st Center of Surgery at H Plus Yangji Hospital, said "We are continuing to strengthen our capabilities through the advancement of robotic surgery technology, education, and training of medical staff, and we will develop into a leading hospital for robotic surgery in Korea by expanding the number of robotic surgery cases focusing on diseases with high difficulty in surgery in the future."
