Osaka Police Hospital successfully performed breast cancer surgery using the Da Vinci SP, a surgical robot.
The Da Vinci SP is a surgical robot that inserts surgical instruments and a 3D endoscope through a single incision, enabling more precise and minimally invasive surgery. While primarily used in urology and gastroenterology, its use in breast surgery remains limited nationwide, marking a new venture for the hospital.
The robot-assisted, areola-sparing mastectomy performed this time was a surgical procedure that ensured complete cure while preserving the areola for cosmetic results.
The Da Vinci SP ensures stable vision and operability, even in narrow, deep areas, and is expected to reduce the patient’s physical burden and improve their quality of life after surgery.
