Nov 26, 2025

Gyeongsang National University Hospital (Hospital Director Ahn Sung-ki) Robot Surgery Center (Center Director Shin Jung-kyu) announced that it successfully completed the '4th Robot Surgery Center Symposium' held at the auditorium on the 2nd floor of the Gyeongnam Regional Cancer Center at 4 p.m. on the 25th.

Under the theme of 'GNUH Robotic Surgery: Da Vinci Xi & SP', this symposium is designed to share the latest knowledge and clinical experience in the field of robotic surgery, and to strengthen multidisciplinary cooperation.

The symposium was hosted by Kim Han-gil, a professor of colorectal surgery at Gyeongsang National University Hospital, and covered a wide range of advanced surgical techniques and clinical achievements in each department through two sessions.
