As the first person to benefit from this advanced technique, Mr. Tran (residing in Can Tho City), who successfully treated kidney cancer at Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, said that just one day later, he was able to sit up and walk around gently, with a small incision and minimal pain. A few days after the surgery, he was able to ride his bicycle again to exercise.

Associate Professor, Doctor Vu Le Chuyen, a specialist in directly controlling the robot at Tam Anh Hospital, said that the Da Vinci Xi robot has opened a new door for cancer patients and those with complex diseases, giving them access to high-tech medical care right here in Vietnam. Patients can receive precise and safe surgery and recover quickly. They no longer have to go abroad for treatment at exorbitant costs and under immense mental stress, but can still receive treatment according to international standards right here in Vietnam.

The Da Vinci surgical robot has been approved by the US FDA for global distribution, becoming the most popular robotic surgical technology today. Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City is using Da Vinci Xi – the most modern generation available in Southeast Asia – in 120 surgeries across various specialties such as: urology - nephrology - andrology (prostatectomy, kidney tumors, ureteral reconstruction, cystectomy and reconstruction…), head and neck (tongue tumors, larynx, thyroid), cardiovascular - thoracic (lung lobe tumors, mediastinal tumors, myasthenia gravis…), general surgery (esophagus, liver, stomach, spleen, rectum, colon, gallbladder…), obstetrics and gynecology (uterine fibroids, endometriosis…).

This cutting-edge technology was officially announced by Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of the country (April 30, 2025), marking a new step forward for Vietnamese surgery. This is also the first Da Vinci Xi system in Southern Vietnam.

The Da Vinci Xi robot boasts numerous improvements and superior technology compared to previous versions. Thanks to its flexible structure and optimized software, doctors can perform more precise operations, reducing bleeding, minimizing post-operative pain, and significantly shortening recovery time, especially for elderly patients, patients with complex tumors requiring surgery in difficult-to-access locations, or those with multiple underlying conditions and weak physical condition.

Compared to conventional open surgery, robotic-assisted surgery with the Da Vinci Xi reduces the risk of blood transfusion by 70%, the risk of complications by 39% within 30 days, shortens hospital stay by 1.9 days, and reduces mortality by 57%. Compared to conventional laparoscopy, the Da Vinci Xi also demonstrates superior effectiveness with a 28% reduction in the risk of blood transfusion, a 14% reduction in the risk of complications, a 33% reduction in mortality, a 23% reduction in the risk of readmission within 30 days, and a shorter hospital stay.
