The fourth-generation da Vinci Surgical System is an advanced minimally invasive surgical platform. Globally, more than 12 million procedures have already been performed using the da Vinci system. This technology can be applied across a wide range of specialties, particularly in cancer treatment, including gastric cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

As people age, the loss of bone and muscle often leads to severe joint pain, sometimes requiring knee replacement surgery. In public hospitals, the waiting time for such procedures is approximately four years (with 33,951 cases recorded as of June 30, 2024). For patients suffering from persistent pain, timely treatment options are crucial.

The ROSA® Robotic System is an advanced medical technology designed to assist orthopedic surgeons. Following professional diagnosis, the system helps surgeons perform highly precise bone cuts during surgery, ensuring optimal alignment between the artificial joint and the patient’s bone structure. With the stability provided by robotic assistance, soft tissue damage is minimized, postoperative pain is reduced, and patients can regain daily mobility more smoothly after surgery.

When hip joint cartilage is damaged due to degeneration, inflammation, or trauma, patients often experience pain while walking, sitting, or standing, which affects their quality of life. If medication or physical therapy fails to provide relief, orthopedic surgeons may recommend hip replacement surgery to alleviate pain. The hospital has introduced a robotic-assisted system that integrates orthopedic expertise with modern technology, aiming to enhance precision and safety during surgery.

Using three-dimensional imaging generated from computer scans, surgeons can carry out detailed preoperative planning to determine the optimal positioning of the acetabular and femoral implants. During the procedure, the robotic system assists in performing precise bone preparation, minimizing tissue impact. With the guidance provided by system parameters, surgeons can more accurately adjust and place the implants, helping patients reduce pain and regain daily mobility.

Spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degeneration not only cause chronic pain but are often accompanied by numbness and weakness, severely limiting patients’ mobility and quality of life. When conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms, spinal surgery may be recommended. Our hospital has introduced Hong Kong’s first ExcelsiusGPS® robotic surgical system applicable to the entire spine. It is primarily used in spinal fixation procedures, such as the implantation of screws and fusion devices in the lumbar or cervical spine, offering patients a more precise treatment option.

During surgery, the robotic system enhances the accuracy of surgical operations. By integrating computer navigation, it reduces reliance on X-rays, thereby lowering radiation exposure for both patients and medical staff. Surgeons can pre-plan the size and placement of screws before the procedure. Compared with traditional methods that rely solely on X-rays and clinical judgment, this technology improves implant stability and accuracy, providing patients with a safer and more reliable surgical solution.

The Hugo™ Robotic-Assisted Surgery System has made our hospital the first private institution in Hong Kong to apply this technology in clinical operations. Integrating artificial intelligence, high-resolution imaging, and advanced precision techniques, the system is designed to enhance surgical accuracy. Through cutting-edge minimally invasive approaches, it helps reduce surgical trauma, enabling patients to recover more quickly and return to healthy living.

In clinical practice, our medical team has completed rigorous international training, with expertise covering urological procedures such as prostate, kidney, and bladder surgeries. The system’s high-resolution imaging provides surgeons with a clearer view of the surgical field, optimizing treatment outcomes. Since each patient’s condition is unique, suitability for this procedure must be individually assessed by the physician based on clinical diagnosis, ensuring the most appropriate personalized treatment plan.
