HLA Vistahermosa Hospital installs the first Da Vinci robot
The hospital has created a robotic surgery unit with a multidisciplinary team of accredited specialists.
HLA Vistahermosa Hospital has expanded its portfolio of services with the acquisition of the Da Vinci robotic platform, the first surgical robot to be installed in the private healthcare sector in the city of Alicante. This tool, the most modern and advanced for performing surgical procedures, will be fully operational in the third quarter of this year, when it is scheduled to perform its first operations.
In order to offer its patients the widest possible access to this technology, HLA Vistahermosa has created a robotic surgery unit initially made up of specialists accredited to use this technology.
The unit has specialists in digestive tract surgery, urology, gynaecology and thoracic surgery, coordinated by surgeons Ruiz de la Cuesta, Cándido Alcázar and Mariano Franco, together with urologist Carla Pérez.
Minimally invasive and safer surgery
The Da Vinci robot is a minimally invasive technology that allows complex surgeries to be performed with greater safety, eliminates the tremor of the surgeon's hands and provides an immersive 3D view that ensures high precision in the surgical technique.
It also reduces the patient's risk of post-operative complications, shortens hospital stays, improves oncological outcomes and enhances quality of life.
The experience accumulated since 2017, when the first Da Vinci was installed at HLA Universitario Moncloa, currently the private centre that performs the most procedures in Spain with this technology, allows the HLA Group to have teams with a long history in robotic surgery, examples of good practices and an internal model of ongoing training.
