Professor Kim Si-hyun of Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital succeeded in simultaneous organ resection of 4 patients in their 70s with robotic surgery
Oct 31, 2025
Professor Kim Si-hyun (department of urology) at Cheonan Hospital, affiliated with Soonchunhyang University, announced on the 31st that he has successfully performed multi-organ simultaneous resection of a patient who has recently spread from bladder cancer to various parts due to Da Vinci's robotic surgery.
The patient, an elderly woman in her 70s, was discharged from the hospital in early October in good health after undergoing robotic surgery at Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital.
Professor Kim's robotic surgery is an extremely difficult case of simultaneously excising four organs, including the bladder, ureter, kidney (left), and uterus, and reconstructing artificial bladder in the abdominal cavity.
In particular, it is evaluated that the incision in the abdominal wall was minimized and the risk of pain, scarring, and infection was greatly reduced by removing the resected organs through the patient's quality.
This case is also significant in that it demonstrated the stability and clinical excellence of robotic surgery.
Professor Kim Si-hyun said, "Despite the fact that surgical patients are old, they have completed multi-organ resection and reconstruction of artificial bladder using robots. Robot surgery can be precisely resected and sutured, which helps the patient's safety and recovery."
On the other hand, in the case of total bladder resection performed by Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, recovery was quick when robotic surgery was performed, greatly shortening the hospitalization period, and the amount of bleeding and blood transfusion decreased by more than 70%. This reduces the additional economic burden and greatly increases patient satisfaction due to the low risk of side effects and complications after surgery.
