Robotic SurgeryThe surgical team from USP St. James has carried out a successful distal pancreatectomy performed with the Da Vinci system. This is a high-precision surgery involves a technically complex, and this is the eighth operation carried out in the middle salt with this system. The hospital launched its program in Robotic Surgery in May last year, the first of Valencia and one of the most ambitious of Spain, brought from St. James USP.

Following an extensive training process, the hospital has incorporated this technology into its portfolio of surgical services with the support of the Foundation of the Platform Tedec Oncology private school. Dr. José Farré, director of the Robotics program indicated that this technique is less invasive than could be applied to remove the tumor that had the patient, who also had a faster recovery than if they had applied other techniques.

For his part, Pere Bretcha, surgeon who performed the operation at the controls of the console, emphasized the difficulty of the technique, said, “is extremely challenging due to the complexities of removing the tail of the pancreas preserving. The team from St. James Surgery now incorporates new guidance to the service portfolio of Robotic Surgery program to bring patients to the best possible therapeutic alternative, since Da Vinci allows access to areas of the abdomen where it is difficult or almost impossible certain procedures.
