The “Prof. Dr. Theodor Burghele” Clinical Hospital in Bucharest is launching a new robotic urological surgery program, aimed especially at patients with oncological conditions and those requiring reconstructive urinary tract procedures.

The program is made possible through the acquisition of a new surgical robot as part of a project funded by European funds. The equipment will be used for complex procedures, including cases of prostate cancer and kidney tumors.

The new technology is also intended for patients requiring urinary tract reconstruction, expanding the therapeutic options available at the hospital. Robotic surgery may enable precise procedures through minimally invasive techniques, depending on the medical indication and each patient’s condition.

The acquisition of the robot and the launch of the program represent an important development for the urology services of the “Prof. Dr. Theodor Burghele” Clinical Hospital. The project aims to increase access to modern treatments for patients with complex urological diseases, particularly those diagnosed with oncological conditions.

Context: the expansion of robotic-assisted surgery and medical equipment for oncology in Romania

Recently, several hospitals in Romania have announced investments and procedures using advanced technologies. In Miercurea Ciuc, the first prostate cancer surgeries performed with the help of the Da Vinci robotic system took place, with the procedures carried out with support from a project financed through European funds.

At the same time, in the field of transplants, a team from the Fundeni Clinical Institute performed Romania’s first liver transplant involving robotic harvesting, using a technique that enables precise dissection and reduces surgical trauma for the donor. In parallel, in the USA, the FDA authorized a robot for blood collection under the supervision of a specialist, as an example of automation in medical procedures.

At the same time, the modernization of medical services has continued through equipment intended for diagnosis and treatment. In Galați, the “St. Ap. Andrei” Hospital received modern equipment for cancer detection, while in Bucharest, a foundation mobilized funds to equip a pediatric cardiovascular surgery department with equipment intended to support procedures and patient safety.
