“Thank god, it was proven that patients benefited more (from robotic surgeries) in terms of the pain, which was less after the end of the surgery. The wound was also smaller and the patient recovered from the surgery faster, so he could continue his treatment if he needed chemotherapy or immunotherapy.”

The center started using the robot in March 2022

and has since completed 75 surgeries
