Prešov Hospital Reaches Milestone of 100 Robotic Surgeries Using Da Vinci System

A hospital in Prešov, a major city in northeastern Slovakia, has completed its first 100 robotic surgeries using the da Vinci surgical system, marking a significant milestone for the region's medical capabilities. The da Vinci system is a advanced robotic-assisted surgical platform widely used in minimally invasive procedures, allowing surgeons to perform complex operations with greater precision through small incisions. Urologists performed the greatest number of the procedures, making urology the leading specialty in the hospital's robotic surgery program. The milestone reflects a broader push in Slovak regional healthcare to adopt cutting-edge medical technology, bringing advanced surgical options to patients outside the capital, Bratislava.
