Based in the Netherlands, Maasstad Hospital makes use of the da Vinci robot in the operation of kidney cancer, rectum cancer, prostate cancer and renal pelvis narrowing. With the help of the da Vinci robot, surgeons are able to perform complicated operations through keyhole surgery. da Vinci uses advanced robotic technology that enables hand movements of the surgeon to be filtered, scaled and translated into real-time, precise movements of surgical instruments. With over 1,700 robotic surgeries, surgeons in Maasstad Hospital are experts at performing keyhole surgery (robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery).
