Karolinska University Hospital among the first in Europe to introduce new robotic surgery
For more than 20 years, Karolinska University Hospital has been using robotic surgery. Now the hospital will be one of the first in Europe to use a new robot. It uses a technology that can make a big difference for a group of patients.At Karolinska University Hospital, robots are already making a major contribution to cancer surgery. Each year, surgeons use them in around 1,300–1,400 procedures. The robots that are currently available at Karolinska use a technology called multiport. During surgery, the robot makes a hole in the patient for the camera and other holes for the instruments.
