Chulabhorn Hospital Celebrates Success of Completing 300 Robotic-Assisted Surgeries Within 1 Year, Expanding Treatment Options and Enhancing Patients' Quality of Life
Chulabhorn Hospital, Chulabhorn Royal Academy, reinforces its leadership in medical technology with the successful outcome of performing over 300 robotic-assisted surgeries within just one year since launching the program in 2025. This achievement reflects the expertise and readiness of its medical specialists and multidisciplinary teams in applying advanced technology to elevate standards of care and broaden treatment possibilities for the public.
Key Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Surgery
- Precision and Complex Access: Enables surgeons to operate instruments with high precision and flexibility, particularly in complex, hard-to-reach, or confined anatomical regions.
- High-Definition Visualization: Provides 3D high-magnification imaging, offering doctors a crystal-clear view of the surgical field.
- Smaller Incisions and Faster Recovery: Facilitates Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), minimizing tissue trauma and allowing patients to recover more quickly.
- Safety Under Full Physician Control: Surgeons direct and control every step of the robotic system. The robot functions as a performance-enhancing tool to maximize surgical efficiency rather than replacing the physician.
Currently, Chulabhorn Hospital offers robotic-assisted surgery across six medical specialties:
- Urology Surgery
- Colorectal Surgery
- Gynecologic Surgery
- Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
- Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery
- Cardiothoracic Surgery
The decision to utilize robotic-assisted surgery requires personalized evaluation by medical specialists, taking into account the type, stage, and location of the lesion, the patient's overall health, and a careful balance of benefits and potential risks to ensure optimal and safe outcomes.
Reaching 300 patient cases within one year marks another significant milestone for Chulabhorn Hospital in its commitment to advancing medical innovation alongside healthcare expertise—expanding treatment options and elevating the quality of life for the Thai people under its motto, "Be Excellent for Lives."
