UAE’s Burjeel Medical City welcomes robot to surgical team

Equipped with immersive 3D high-definition visualisation tech, the da Vinci Xi robot provides surgeons with an intricately detailed, magnified view of the surgical area

UAE-based Burjeel Medical City has added da Vinci Xi robot into its arsenal of advanced medical tools to perform intricate minimally invasive operations with precision and efficiency, enhancing patient care. The debut of the da Vinci Xi robot at the hospital marks a noteworthy step in the hospital’s commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare. This robotic surgical system offers Burjeel Medical City’s surgical team several advantages, including heightened surgical accuracy, improved visualisation, and faster recovery periods.

Equipped with immersive 3D high-definition visualisation tech, the da Vinci Xi robot provides surgeons with an intricately detailed, magnified view of the surgical area. This improved visual clarity allows for superior precision during procedures, diminishing the risk of complications and ensuring the best patient results.

The inventive robotic arms of the da Vinci Xi robot imitate the movements of a surgeon’s hand but with greater agility and an extended range of motion. This enables unparalleled access to surgical sites that are virtually unreachable using conventional laparoscopic instruments.

Surgeons command the robot from a remote console, manipulating the robotic arms with remarkable control and precision. Moreover, the robot’s advanced surgical instruments, including specialised endo-wrist devices, empower surgeons to perform intricate maneuvers with unmatched accuracy.

With the inclusion of the da Vinci Xi robotic system, Burjeel Medical City is set to provide patients with an array of minimally invasive procedures, encompassing intricate surgeries across specialties like urology, gynecology, colorectal, upper gastrointestinal, thoracic, bariatric, hepatobiliary, and general surgery.

Dr. Jafaru Abu, Director of Robotic Surgery at the hospital, expressed his enthusiasm about introducing the da Vinci Xi robotic system. “We are proud to offer da Vinci robot-assisted surgery to many of our patients. This cutting-edge technology will enable our highly skilled surgeons to provide even better patient clinical outcomes. By reducing trauma, and overall recovery time, it will truly transform the field of surgery at Burjeel Medical City.”

John Sunil, CEO, Burjeel Holdings, said, “The introduction of da Vinci Xi robotic system underscores our commitment to constantly evolving and adopting the latest medical technologies. With the integration of this new technology, we aim to reinforce our position as a leading healthcare institution at the forefront of medical innovation, providing patients with access to world-class, minimally invasive surgical procedures.”
