The first European installation of the Surgerii Robotics SHURUI Single-Port (SP) Surgical System has been made at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, one of Europe’s leading academic medical centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SHURUI SP system is CE-marked for adult and pediatric use, making it the only CE-marked single-port robotic surgical system currently indicated for pediatric procedures in Europe. The installation marked an important milestone in the international expansion of Surgerii Robotics and the introduction of the technology into a major European reference centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of this collaboration, Vall d’Hebron University Hospital became the first hospital in Europe to perform a pediatric procedure using the SHURUI Single-Port Surgical System, reinforcing its commitment to surgical innovation and minimally invasive pediatric care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed for single-port access, the SHURUI SP system combines continuum-bending instruments with a flexible stereoscopic 3D endoscope, enabling surgeons to access and operate within confined anatomical spaces through a single incision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system’s proprietary Dual Continuum Mechanism supports continuous bending and wide anatomical reach while maintaining precise control throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical experience with the SHURUI SP system has been associated with lower blood loss, reduced complication rates, lower postoperative pain, improved cosmesis and shorter hospital stays across a range of minimally invasive procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system is already used by the Pediatric Surgery, Urology and General and Digestive Surgery departments at Vall d’Hebron and will support the development of robotic surgery across multiple specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The installation opens up new opportunities for clinical collaboration, training and knowledge exchange between Vall d’Hebron and Surgerii Robotics as single-port robotic surgery becomes more widely adopted in Europe,” says Dr Albert Salazar, Managing Director, Vall d’Hebron University Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The surgical team anticipates performing approximately 200 to 300 procedures per year using the SHURUI SP system, supporting increasingly complex procedures across multiple specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For healthcare professionals, these systems provide greater precision, allow access to confined spaces and make complex procedures less physically demanding by eliminating factors such as tremor and postural fatigue,” said Dr Marino Asensio, Head of Pediatric Urology and Renal Transplantation. “For patients, the benefits are numerous: less bleeding, fewer complications, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes, all of which are particularly important in pediatric surgery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first paediatric procedure performed with the SHURUI SP system was a nephroureterectomy on a twelve-year-old boy whose kidney and ureter had become infected and non-functional due to multiple stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We were able to remove the kidney and ureter, which had become infected and non-functional due to multiple stones, some measuring more than 3 cm,” said Dr Gl\u00f2ria Royo, pediatric surgeon. “This single-port surgical system enabled us to remove the kidney and the entire ureter through a single incision, thanks to the system’s 360-degree manoeuvrability.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This first installation at Vall d’Hebron represents an important milestone for Surgerii Robotics,” said Professor Kai Xu, CEO, Surgerii Robotics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
