Bangkok Hospital Invests in State-of-the-Art Robot-Assisted Surgery

Bangkok, Thailand - Bangkok Hospital has announced an investment of over 200 million baht to establish a new robotic surgery center. This facility includes multiple operating rooms equipped with the latest technology, such as the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. The hospital aims to become the leading provider of robotic-assisted surgery in Southeast Asia.

Having completed 200 cases successfully, Bangkok Hospital highlights its expertise in using advanced technology to improve patient outcomes. The hospital's strategic vision is to make these surgical treatments more accessible throughout the region at competitive prices. Conditions benefiting from robot-assisted surgery include various cancers and gynecological diseases.

The da Vinci Xi Surgical System allows surgeons to perform precise procedures with improved dexterity. Benefits include reduced blood loss, shorter recovery times, and decreased risk of infection. Significant improvements have been noted in nerve-sparing techniques for prostate cancer and lymph node removal in lung cancer cases.

Dr. Ekkit Surakarn, Deputy Hospital Director, emphasizes the hospital’s commitment to addressing healthcare challenges in Southeast Asia, such as the rising burden of cancers and access disparities. The robotic surgery program aims to engage with insurance providers to expand coverage for these advanced treatments.

Bangkok Hospital plans to expand its robotic surgery capabilities over the next five years, covering more specialties and investing in education and training to become a regional center for skill development.
