Revolution in Surgery: New Surgical Robot in Vienna Improves Minimally Invasive Procedures

The latest surgical robot at the Landstraße Clinic is a significant addition to the range of minimally invasive procedures, which are known to use the keyhole method. This innovative technology is increasingly being used in gastrointestinal surgery as well as in gynecology, adrenal, and thyroid surgery. Philipp Riss, head of surgery at the Landstraße Clinic, describes the advantages: “We then have no incisions on the neck, but we have small incisions above the nipples and in the armpit fold or an incision in one armpit or three small incisions in the lower lip, and through these, we can remove the thyroid.”

Advantages of the Surgical Robot in Vienna for Patients

The use of the surgical robot brings numerous advantages. Patients can benefit from reduced pain and faster recovery. Additionally, the highly precise technology allows for exact execution of procedures.

Clarification of the financial aspect: The latest surgical robot at the Landstraße Clinic cost two million euros. Currently, eight of these devices are already in use in the hospitals of the city of Vienna. Michael Binder, Medical Director of the Vienna Health Association (WIGEV), has announced that surgical robots will be used in all clinics.
