Robotic surgery advancements in South Korea

Overview

South Korean medical institutions are advancing the field of robotic surgery through specialized training and academic exchange.

Korea University Guro Hospital has utilized the ‘Intuitive Hub’ system to broadcast live single-port (SP) robotic thoracic surgeries to medical professionals in the United States, including teams from the Cleveland Clinic and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. This remote broadcasting allows international practitioners to observe real-time lung cancer and thymoma procedures, expanding the hospital’s capacity as a designated ‘Single-Port Robotic Thoracic Surgery Training Center’.

In a similar effort to share clinical trends, Chung-Ang University Hospital hosted its 3rd Robotic Surgery Symposium. The event brought together specialists from urology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, and anesthesiology to discuss topics such as robotic radical prostatectomy, robotic thymectomy, and anesthetic management during robotic procedures.
