Operating room configuration of the DaVinci-Xi in a usual Gyn Oncology procedure
In this particular case during an endometrial cancer staging surgery.
The use of advanced technologies does not negate assistance from other surgeons. On the contrary, teamwork is key in robotic surgery as in any surgical procedure.
TECHNIQUES & PROCEDURES
Robotic Surgery
We have been using the DaVinci® robotic system since 2002 at Stanford University Hospital, California, long before the it became known in Europe.
Surgical Staging
In 2009, Dr. G. Hilaris and his team performed the first ever robot-assisted surgical staging in Greece, for endometrial cancer in a 39-year-old patient.
Radical Hysterectomy
The first total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, with complete lymph node dissection, was performed in Greece in 2004 by Dr. G. Hilaris and his team.
