Bangkok Hospital invests in Da Vinci Xi Surgical System

Bangkok Hospital in Thailand has invested over 200 million baht to establish a state-of-the-art robotic surgery centre with multiple operating rooms integrated with robotic platforms that include the da Vinci Xi Surgical System.

The da Vinci Xi Surgical System will enable surgeons to perform complex procedures with improved precision and better dexterity. Conditions that can benefit from robot-assisted surgery include thoracic diseases such as lung cancer, prostate and kidney cancers, hernias and liver cancer, and gynaecological diseases including uterine fibroid and ovarian mass.

The hospital’s 5-year roadmap includes expanding its robotic surgery capabilities, covering specialties such as ear-nose-throat surgery while investing in education and training to establish Bangkok Hospital as a regional centre for skill development.
