Sources: 7. Developments: 2. South Korean medical institutions are reporting advancements in minimally invasive procedures through the use of the Da Vinci SP single-port robotic surgery system. In the gynecological field, Dongtan Jeil Hospital reached a milestone of 1,000 cumulative robotic surgeries. The hospital utilizes the technology to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian diseases, employing a personalized approach to preserve fertility in patients of childbearing age. In the field of urology, advancements have been noted at both Inha University Hospital and Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital. At Inha University Hospital, the first pediatric pyeloplasty using the single-port system was performed in the Gyeongin region. Meanwhile, Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital reached 500 urological surgeries, utilizing specialized techniques like the extraperitoneal approach and Low Anterior Access (LAA) method to minimize scarring and recovery times for kidney and prostate cancer patients. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-01: South Korean hospitals advance urological care with robotic surgery South Korean hospitals report major milestones in urological care using Da Vinci SP single-port robotic surgery for both pediatric reconstruction and complex cancer treatments. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/south-korean-hospitals-advance-urological-care-with-robotic-surgery ### 2026-08-24: Dongtan Jeil Hospital reaches 1,000 gynecological robotic surgeries Dongtan Jeil Hospital has achieved 1,000 cumulative gynecological robotic surgeries using the Da Vinci SP system, focusing on personalized care and fertility preservation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dongtan-jeil-hospital-reaches-1000-gynecological-robotic-surgeries --- Cite as: South Korean robotic surgery advancements.
