Bielsko-Biała hospital performs first robotic gynecological surgeries

Doctors at the Provincial Hospital in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, have successfully completed the first gynecological surgeries using the da Vinci robotic system. The procedures were performed on patients diagnosed with malignant uterine cancer.

The surgeries, led by specialist Dr. Justyna Szuta, utilized the robot to provide a high-definition, three-dimensional, and magnified view of the surgical field. This technology allows surgeons to better distinguish diseased tissue from healthy structures, such as nerves and blood vessels, and facilitates more precise removal of cancerous tissues while protecting adjacent organs.

According to hospital officials, the robotic approach offers improved control and visibility, which may lead to reduced tissue trauma, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times for patients. While the surgeon operates from a specialized console rather than directly at the operating table, medical staff emphasized that the physician remains responsible for all surgical decisions.
