Urological surgery – Da Vinci Xi® robot

Description

Surgery is one of the main treatments for prostate cancer. The procedure, known as radical prostatectomy, involves the removal of the tumor as well as the associated lymph nodes. This surgery is often performed using an advanced surgical technique called robot-assisted laparoscopy, utilizing the Da Vinci Xi® robotic system. This approach offers numerous advantages, including increased precision, faster recovery, and minimal scarring, allowing patients to regain an optimal quality of life more quickly.
It was the first robotic surgical system in the country.

Added value

The introduction of the first robotic system dedicated to surgery in our country marks a major advancement in the medical field. This collaboration between a high-level surgical team and medical technology specialists paves the way for more precise, less invasive, and more efficient interventions. This cutting-edge technology offers three-dimensional vision and enhanced dexterity, enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures with unprecedented precision. This advancement promises new treatment possibilities, ensuring superior healthcare and reinforcing our commitment to patient well-being.

Urology specialist and surgeon
"Over the past 11 years, the system has been upgraded 3 times, enabling us to operate with the most advanced robotic system available. HRS was and is a pioneer in this field in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. A specialized team guarantees optimum operative quality, which has also earned us certification from the German Cancer Society for urology since 2016. The full spectrum of urological procedures is offered, with the exception of transplants. Since then, visceral surgery has also made use of the operating system. To date, the HRS has 2 Da Vinci Xi® robotic systems."

"Surgery, in particular radical prostatectomy, is an essential pillar in the treatment of prostate cancer. The introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopy, via the Da Vinci Xi® robotic system, is revolutionizing this procedure. This technique offers unrivalled surgical precision, significantly reduces patient recovery time and minimizes scarring. Patients can return to an optimal quality of life more quickly."
