On December 18, the start-up ceremony of the Da Vinci surgical robot was successfully held in Gansu Hospital, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. This marks that the first domestic Da Vinci Xi surgical robot has officially settled in Gansu Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Hospital, helping the construction of the national regional medical center, bringing more efficient, accurate and safer surgical treatments to the majority of patients, and marking the commercialization of the domestic Da Vinci surgical robot into the era.

After the launching ceremony, the Da Vinci Xi surgical robot was formally "on duty" in the operating room of Gansu Hospital, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. With the assistance of the surgical robot, Executive Director Prof. Liu Zhuowei's team successfully performed "robot-assisted partial nephrectomy" for the patient.

Prof. Liu Zhuowei introduced that the surgical robot makes the surgical incision smaller, less painful, shortens the recovery time and reduces the number of days in the hospital, etc. For most of the tumor patients, the fight against the tumor is a long process, and it is an urgent need for the patients to be able to return to their daily routines and improve the quality of their life after the operation. At the same time, the surgical robot reduces trauma and scarring, which is also the patients' desire for aesthetic results and improves their dignity and sense of well-being.

High-quality minimally invasive therapies for robot-assisted surgery can effectively reduce post-operative pain and blood loss, which not only improves the success rate of surgery, but also shortens the recovery time of patients.
