You are invited to a dedicated event to hear first-hand how surgeons at Barts are using innovative robotic surgery to drive forward huge improvements for Barts Health patients.
Following a generous grant by Barts Charity, and in a first for the UK, St Bartholomew’s has the only surgical robot dedicated to cardiothoracic (heart, chest and lungs) surgery, while The Royal London’s robot is being used across a group of six different surgical specialties; gynae-oncology, urology, colorectal, hepatobiliary, transplant and head and neck surgery. The collective strength of this unique collaboration is driving huge improvements for patients across London and beyond. The surgical robot enables less invasive techniques, benefiting patients by reduced blood loss, less pain, fewer complications after operations and hospital stays decreased by as much as 40 percent.
