Mediclinic City Hospital has implemented the Da Vinci Xi HD 4-arm robotic system, one of the most sophisticated surgical technologies available for adult and paediatric patients. Da Vinci robotic surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical procedure in which the conventional laparoscopic technique is combined with high-precision robotic technology using four robotic arms, which are expertly commanded by the surgeon from the surgical console using a 3D high-definition view of the surgical area.
Minimally invasive surgery with Da Vinci is widely used in general surgery, urology and gynaecology procedures, as well as in several other specialities to improve the patient’s outcome with faster recovery, less pain and less scarring.
Mona Al Kaissi, General Manager for Al Naghi Medical, described her experience working with the team of surgeons at the hospital as “one success story after the other”. “As the distributor of the Da Vinci robot in the UAE, we are proud to have been in Medic

Procedure provides a viable and long term alternative to the other existing treatment methods
A 70-year-old healthy gentleman presented with an impacted left upper ureteric stone. The initial stone treatment was successful, however the stone impaction resulted in a long mid-ureteric stricture. Many conservative treatments with variable stents including JJ stents and Memokath were attempted but they all failed due to severe encrustation and stent-related symptoms.
The patient was then referred to Dr Ali Thwaini, Consultant Urologist at Mediclinic City Hospital, who counselled him for a laparoscopic repair of his ureter by replacing the diseased segment with a piece of his small bowel. This procedure is normally carried out in a traditional open surgery, lasting several hours and needing a large abdominal incision, with a prolonged post-operative recovery.
The laparoscopic approach offsets most of these challenges by offering minimally invasive surgery and quicker post-operative recovery.
