Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital has strengthened its advanced healthcare infrastructure with a second robotic surgery system. The new system is expected to increase the hospital’s capacity for robotic procedures and enable more patients to receive treatment supported by advanced technology.
Reflecting developments in science and technology in its healthcare services, Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital has expanded its robotic surgery infrastructure with the addition of a second system. As a pioneer in the use of robotic surgery in Konya, the hospital has further increased its capacity for technology-assisted surgical treatments with the new system.
The first robotic surgery system, which was introduced approximately 18 months ago, has been used to successfully perform more than 300 operations. The system helps reduce surgical trauma and pain and contributes to faster recovery for patients, while enabling surgeons to perform complex and delicate procedures with a high degree of precision. It can be used in general surgery, urology, pediatric surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology, allowing more specialized and advanced procedures to be performed.
Selçuk University Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Yılmaz said that adding a second robotic surgery system to the hospital would improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare services. He noted that the system provides surgeons with greater control through three-dimensional, high-resolution imaging and precise robotic arms, adding that it offers significant advantages, particularly in procedures performed through smaller incisions.
Rector Yılmaz said the development of the hospital’s robotic surgery infrastructure demonstrates the university’s technology-focused approach to healthcare. He said:
“We are continuing to perform surgical procedures using one of the world’s most advanced technologies, robotic surgery. With the addition of a second robotic surgery system to our hospital, we have significantly increased our capacity to enable our physicians to perform more specialized and advanced procedures. As Selçuk University, we closely follow innovations in the medical field and continuously develop our technological infrastructure to provide our patients with the best possible healthcare services. We are proud to bring this advanced technology to our university and Konya. I would like to express my gratitude to our President for enabling us to provide higher-quality healthcare services and for making these opportunities available to us, thereby leading our country’s progress in the field of healthcare.”
