BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – July 1, 2024 – Bangkok Hospital, a leading healthcare provider in Thailand, has invested over 200 million baht to establish a state-of-the-art robotic surgery center. The facility is equipped with multiple operating rooms integrating the latest robotic platforms, including the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. This investment underscores the hospital’s commitment to becoming the leading destination for robotic surgery in Southeast Asia.
Bangkok Hospital has already successfully completed 200 cases, demonstrating its expertise in using cutting-edge technology to achieve excellent treatment outcomes. The hospital’s strategic vision is to become the robotics hub of Southeast Asia and make advanced surgical treatments more accessible to patients across the region at competitive prices.
The da Vinci Xi Surgical System enables surgeons to perform complex procedures with improved precision and dexterity. Conditions that can benefit from robot-assisted surgery include thoracic diseases such as lung cancer, urological diseases such as prostate and kidney cancer, abdominal and hepato-pancreatic-biliary diseases such as hernias and liver cancer, and gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids and ovarian tumors.
“We are committed to addressing the unique healthcare challenges facing Southeast Asia, including the growing burden of cancer, an ageing population and inequalities in access to quality healthcare,” said Dr. Ekkit SurakarnDeputy Hospital Director of Bangkok Hospital. “Our robotic surgery program is focused on providing tangible benefits and value to our patients, while actively working with insurance providers to expand coverage for these advanced treatments.”
The hospital has achieved remarkable results, including significant improvements in key operational indicators such as reduced blood loss, shorter recovery time, faster patient mobilization, reduced risk of infection and unplanned readmission. In certain procedures, the use of robotic systems has enabled nerve-sparing techniques while preserving urinary function in prostate cancer cases and improved lymph node removal in lung cancer cases.
Bangkok Hospital’s multidisciplinary approach brings together highly skilled medical teams to create personalized treatment plans and provide comprehensive care to the patient throughout their treatment. The hospital’s 5-year plan includes expanding its robotic surgery capabilities to cover additional specialties such as ENT surgery, while investing in education and training to establish Bangkok Hospital as a regional center for skills development.
“We remain committed to advancing robotic surgery and expanding its benefits to patients across Asia,” explained Dr. Ekkit Surakarn.
