The Hospital Clínico de València has reached the milestone of over 1,000 surgical interventions performed with the Da Vinci robotic system, consolidating this advanced technology in its assisted practice since its incorporation in August 2023.

This technique has allowed for high-complexity procedures through minimally invasive surgery, primarily in the specialties of General Surgery and Urology. More recently, it has also expanded to Thoracic Surgery and Gynecology, as detailed by the Generalitat in a statement.
In General Surgery, interventions have focused on colorectal surgery, obesity surgery, and hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery. In Urology, procedures have been prominent in prostate, nephrectomies, and cystectomies, offering significant results for patients.

"The Da Vinci system offers professionals the ability to work with high-definition three-dimensional vision and articulated instruments of great precision, which translates into greater surgical safety, less invasive operations, and faster recovery for patients."

Robotic surgery is performed using robotic arms controlled at all times by the surgeon from an external console. This combination of professional experience with state-of-the-art technology contributes to the continuous improvement of care processes and the progressive incorporation of new specialists in these techniques.
The Hospital Clínico de València has a multidisciplinary robotics commission, responsible for surgical planning, results monitoring, and the evaluation of quality and safety indicators. This commission is composed of professionals from the involved surgical specialties, nursing staff, orderlies, sterilization service personnel, and the hospital management, ensuring comprehensive and efficient management.
