Reduce surgical trauma for patients! Changhai Hospital's domestically produced pure single hole surgical robot attracts international peer attention at the annual conference | Robotics | Surgery
The 118th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Urology was held in Chicago, USA from April 28th to May 1st this year. This is internationally recognized as the largest and most influential academic conference in urology. At the meeting, Professor Patel, the President of the Global Robotics Surgery Association, practiced the first pure single hole surgical robot from China - the Shurui single hole surgical robot.
"China's surgical robot equipment is already very advanced." Patel highly praised the innovative improvement of the system in grip, flexibility, and other aspects, and showed strong interest in the research and application of Chinese surgical robots. He immediately stated that he would go to the urology department of Changhai Hospital during his visit to China in June to have face-to-face communication with Professor Wang Linhui, the clinical chief scientist of this surgical robot.

On June 8, Patel came to Shanghai Changhai Hospital as scheduled. He visited the urology ward and the robotic surgery training center of Changhai Hospital, spoke highly of the medical level and R & D environment of the department, and shared his experience in 17000 cases of robotic radical prostatectomy in the past 20 years. Patel and Wang Linhui exchanged and discussed with urology experts from many domestic hospitals to discuss how to improve the diagnosis and treatment of urinary diseases worldwide.
On June 8th, Patel arrived at Shanghai Changhai Hospital as scheduled. He visited the urology ward and the robot surgery training center of Changhai Hospital, gave high praise to the medical level and research and development environment of the department, and shared his experience of 17000 robot radical prostatectomy surgeries in the past 20 years. Patel and Wang Linhui exchanged and discussed with urology experts from multiple domestic hospitals on how to improve the diagnosis and treatment level of urological diseases worldwide.
As early as 2013, Wang Linhui's team was the first in China to introduce and use foreign porous surgical robots for surgery, and achieved a number of excellent results. "Can we study a surgical robot that can complete the entire surgery with just one hole, so that the patient's surgical trauma is smaller?" Following this idea, he began his research.

Through industry university research cooperation, clinical doctors and enterprises can be maximally stimulated to explore and innovate, creating medical device products that truly solve patient pain. With the strong support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, Wang Linhui's team collaborated with technology companies in clinical research and development, participating in the entire process. In 2020, it was approved by the Medical Device Evaluation Center of the National Medical Products Administration. This is the first single hole surgical robot in China to pass the innovative medical device special review procedure.
