The Health Service buys surgical material for robotic surgery at Son Espases Hospital for 4.2 million euros

In 2019 Hospital Universitario Son Espases acquired the Da Vinci Xi Surgical System, a robotic surgery system that offers a set of fully articulated 8 mm instruments, advanced articulated power, articulated arm, fluorescence imaging, integrated table with movement, gesture simulation, as well as multi-port robotic access with four arms and single-port access, all on a single platform, capable of performing minimally invasive surgical procedures.

This robotic equipment requires a series of instruments and consumables necessary to be able to perform surgical interventions on patients, which can only be distributed by the company ABEX Excelencia Robótica, SL.

Hospital Universitario Son Espases performed 270 robotic surgeries in 2024, distributed as follows: 110 urology surgeries, 66 gynaecology surgeries, 64 general digestive surgery surgeries and 30 otorhinolaryngology surgeries. In total, 1,111 robotic surgeries were performed in 2019.

Son Espases currently has twenty-four operating theatres, four of which are used for major outpatient surgery. In addition to the work that has been done, the operating theatre area has been equipped with seven high-performance surgical tables, seven surgical arches, seven anaesthesia equipment, seven endoscopy towers, two surgical microscopes, seventeen bone-cutting motors, six double-arm surgical lights, six surgical imaging systems for endoscopies and laparoscopies with twelve 4K 3D screens, four transport bunks for critical ICU and Rehabilitation patients with defibrillator, ventilator and monitoring, a monitoring room, an image integration and recording system, a surgical table allowing synchronised movements with the Da Vinci robot and a fluorescence system for complex oncological surgeries in gynaecology and plastic surgery.
