Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Le Chuyen, Director of the Urology - Nephrology - Andrology Center, Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, who has successfully performed more than 200 surgeries using Da Vinci Robot, affirmed: "Robot Da Vinci Xi is an extended arm, helping doctors perform surgeries that were once considered impossible, expanding the scope of surgery in many fields, helping patients to be treated better, safer and recover faster".
Thus, Vietnamese patients have access to advanced surgical methods right in the country, instead of having to go abroad at expensive and time-consuming costs.

Da Vinci Xi robot is capable of supporting more than 120 complex surgeries in many specialties such as urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, cervical head, thoracic, cardiovascular and cancer - more than the previous generation.
The outstanding difference of Da Vinci Xi Robot compared to the old generation, the closest to Da Vinci Si (3rd generation) is the feature of the touch screen to help the doctor choose the necessary surgical area and optimal approach to individualizing each surgery (depending on the position of the patient tumor or surgery). Voice instruction feature helps the doctor operate easily, especially in complex cases. As a result, the surgery minimizes the lesions of healthy tissue, avoiding violating other dangerous areas.
Four Da Vinci Robot arms Xi is mounted on a 360-degree rotation allowing the doctor to access many surgical areas without having to move the robot system or the patient's position. Each arm can rotate 540 degrees thanks to human wrist simulation technology, easy to operate in deep, narrow and hard-to-reach surgical areas, performing sophisticated endoscopic techniques that are difficult to achieve by traditional endoscopy or old-generation robots.
Da Vinci Robot arms are thinner, the distance between arms is only 6cm, 2cm smaller than the old generation, suitable for Vietnamese organs. Any arm can be equipped with a camera (the old generation only had a camera on one fixed arm), helping the doctor freely change the perspective in the surgical area.

Da Vinci Xi robot also brings outstanding accuracy thanks to a micro- 3D camera that can increase the surgical area to 15 times, helping doctors clearly observe every very small detail. The surgeon operates through a control panel, observing the entire surgical area through a high-resolution 3D screen; taking advantage of the exaggeration and hand vibration screening ability to perform stable surgical operations, limiting encroachment and surrounding damage.
Da Vinci Xi is the first generation to have integrated a welding and blood handling handle, allowing tissue removal and immediate blood handling without changing equipment, minimizing blood loss during surgery.
Every delicate movement from the doctor's hand and fingers is accurately and intuitively converted by the system to surgical instruments inside the patient's body, while minimizing fatigue during prolonged surgery.

This technology is especially beneficial for elderly patients with weak geology, complex underlying diseases or requiring intervention in difficult locations. Good control during surgery and quick recovery after surgery help patients quickly improve their quality of life and achieve optimal treatment results.
Mr. H. (66 years old) was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. Dr. Nguyen Hoang Duc, Head of the Urology Department, Center for Urology - Nephrology - Andrology, Tam Anh Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, used Da Vinci Xi Robot to remove all malignant tumors with the accuracy of each millimetre. Thanks to that, doctors eliminate the original cancer, preserve maximum physiological function and limit complications for patients.
After only 48 hours, Mr. H. recovered and lived almost normally. "I didn't expect I could recover so quickly. The surgical wound is small, not much painful, and I still maintain the quality of life as before, Mr. H. shared.

Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City has approved 59 categories of robotic surgery by the Ministry of Health, covering major specialties. The hospital aims to become a leading training and robot surgery center in the region, serving thousands of surgeries each year.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Binh, Professional Director, Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City shared: "We aim to build a modern surgical system where every operating room has robots and every doctor is proficient in this technology, on par with countries with advanced medicine such as the US, Japan, and South Korea".
The Da Vinci Robot System has supported the implementation of more than 14.2 million surgeries worldwide, licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has become the "golden standard" for minimum invasive surgery.
