Waldfriede Hospital, a Seventh-day Adventist health-care institution in Berlin, Germany, performed its first surgery with the da Vinci robot on February 7.
“This day marked another milestone in the hospital’s 101-year surgical history,” hospital CEO Bernd Quoss said.
The da Vinci operating system is a robot-assisted surgical system for minimally invasive operations in the urological and gynecological fields. Chief physician and medical director Roland Scherer performed the surgery, together with physician Thorsten Unglaube. Since then, three operations have been performed by the proctology department. The gynecology department began with its first operation on March 1.
