Sources: 5. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Chung-Ang University Hospital to host robotic surgery symposium Chung-Ang University Hospital is holding its 3rd Robotic Surgery Symposium to share advanced surgical techniques, safety management, and multidisciplinary clinical expertise. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/chung-ang-university-hospital-to-host-robotic-surgery-symposium ### 2026-08-27: Korea University Guro Hospital broadcasts robotic thoracic surgery to U.S. medical teams Professor Kim Hyun-gu of Korea University Guro Hospital performed live-streamed single-port robotic thoracic surgeries for U.S. medical professionals to share advanced surgical techniques and expertise. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/korea-university-guro-hospital-broadcasts-robotic-thoracic-surgery-to-us-medical-teams --- Cite as: Robotic surgery advancements in South Korea.
