Tam Anh Hospital achieves international certification for new generation robotic surgery

(Dan Tri) - With nearly 200 surgeries to treat cancer and complex diseases using the new generation Da Vinci Xi Robot system after only 7 months of operation, Tam Anh General Hospital has just achieved international certification, becoming the first unit in Vietnam to achieve a record in this field.

The certificate of record and excellent surgical center was awarded to Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City by the leading medical technology group in the Asia-Pacific region (Device Technologies) on December 4.

Previously, the Ministry of Health approved Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to perform 59 categories of robotic surgeries in many fields such as Urology, Digestion, Thoracic - Vascular Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology...

Currently, this leading modern robotic system can help doctors perform more than 120 types of surgery to treat cancer and complex diseases, with outstanding advantages compared to traditional surgical methods.

At the certification ceremony, with the participation of leading Vietnamese robotic surgery experts, Mr. David Morgan, Southeast Asia Sales Director - Device Technologies Group congratulated Vietnam's outstanding progress in medical technology.

Accordingly, Tam Anh became the first private hospital in Vietnam to master multi-specialty surgical technology with the most modern Da Vinci Xi Robot in Southeast Asia, helping Vietnamese people access leading medical technology in treating complex diseases at treatment costs many times lower than abroad.

Currently, the cost of Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery in the US ranges from 15,000 to 22,000 USD, in Thailand about 10,000 USD, in Singapore 22,000 to 60,000 USD. But in Vietnam, patients only pay about 5,000 to 7,000 USD (120 million to 180 million VND) including all inpatient costs.

This cost is only 30% lower than foreign countries with the same technology, still ensuring the process and surgical team are formally trained, have international robotic surgery certificates, comprehensive care process...

“The achievements of Tam Anh General Hospital far exceed expectations and demonstrate the extraordinary efforts of the entire team,” said Mr. David Morgan.

According to Mr. David Morgan, Tam Anh General Hospital is truly outstanding in terms of quality at the international level in operating the Da Vinci Xi surgical robot, and is among the most prominent in Southeast Asia. This milestone affirms that the hospital is not only a pioneer in adopting advanced technology, but is also ready to invest in new, modern, world-leading technological solutions, bringing maximum benefits to patients.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Binh - Professional Director, Tam Anh General Hospital System, Ho Chi Minh City said that Vietnamese people desire to access high-tech healthcare because of its proven effectiveness and outstanding safety, so as soon as it was deployed, the hospital received and performed many times more surgeries.

For example, partial nephrectomy for cancer treatment has increased nearly 4 times in the past months. This is a complex technique, requiring high precision to preserve maximum kidney parenchyma, control blood vessels safely and minimize the time of renal ischemia due to surgery.

In the field of digestion, in a short time, the Center for Endoscopy and Endoscopic Surgery of Digestive Diseases has successfully applied the Da Vinci Xi Robot to perform surgery on more than 30 complicated digestive cancer cases. Dr. Do Minh Hung, Director of the Center, said that with the ability to locate accurately to the millimeter, 4 flexible arms simulating the human wrist, the robot helps doctors operate safely in difficult anatomical areas, accurately removing tumors or lesions.

With lung cancer, 20 surgeries using the Da Vinci Xi Robot to remove lung lobes, mediastinal tumors or thymoma tumors at the Thoracic and Vascular Surgery Center showed no post-operative complications, and the patients recovered well.

Dr. Nguyen Ba My Nhi, Director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Center, Tam Anh General Hospital, said that in the field of Gynecology, the Da Vinci Xi Robot helps perform hysterectomy to effectively treat malignant diseases such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer or benign diseases such as endometriosis, uterine prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse, etc.

The reason why Tam Anh General Hospital has achieved the record of having the most patients successfully operated on by robots in a short period of time is because the hospital has many specialized departments, and has up to 10 doctors who are globally certified in robotic surgery. This is rare compared to other hospitals in the region.

Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Le Chuyen, Director of the Center for Urology - Nephrology - Andrology, Tam Anh General Hospital System, Ho Chi Minh City, shared that Tam Anh's goal is to make robotic surgery a routine technique, and is ready to train and transfer Da Vinci Xi Robotic surgery technology to hospitals at home and abroad.
