Robotic surgery comes to the Canary Islands with the help of San Roque University Hospitals

 

San Roque University Hospitals, together with GUA Cabinet of Urology and Andrology, are positioned as references in robotic surgery on our islands. The sum of the extensive experience of both in the field of robotic surgery at a national and international level has been key to incorporating the Hugo™ Robotic Assisted Surgery System to its facilities at HUSR in Maspalomas; the latest technology in minimally invasive surgery that improves the results, precision and safety of the surgical activity and the patient. “The acquisition of this surgical technology, the most sophisticated, represents a step further in the evolution of surgery in the Canary Islands and makes available to all citizens the benefits of cutting-edge robotic surgery that offers greater versatility and versatility when it comes to surgery. to design personalized treatments for patients; explains Dr. Juárez.”

 

 

Medtronic's Hugo™ RAS system revolutionizes the meaning of performing robotic-assisted surgery and is the first in its high-end range to arrive in the Canary Islands. Its modular and portable design, together with powerful analysis capabilities, a new system in the controls of the wrist instruments, an open console that facilitates communication between the surgeon and his team or a 4k 3D screen that provides greater definition and precision of vision with a great capacity for differentiation of tissues and structures in the surgical field, provides greater safety for the patient with the advantages provided by robotic surgery such as decreased postoperative pain, less need for blood transfusion, reduced hospital stay and early return to daily activities.

 

 

The Robotic Surgery Unit of San Roque University Hospitals and GUA Cabinet of Urology and Andrology, directed by Dr. Pablo Juárez del Dago, is made up of a large human team specialized in a wide variety of medical-surgical specialties such as urology, general surgery and digestive, gynecology, among many others.
