Sassari becomes center of excellence for robotic surgery | Medicine and science

Sasari is at the forefront of robot-assisted surgery. There are 203 interventions performed in one year with three devices purchased by Viale San Pietro Aou in the second half of 2021 and put into operation in 2022. These are two tools for surgery Osteopathy And one forMultidisciplinary surgery.

“In the period of Covid – says the general manager of Au Sassari Antonio Lorenzo Spano – We were able to activate the robotic surgery. And only in the first year of activity we have implemented more than 200 interventions, becoming the number one company in Sardinia. It is also probably one of the best performers in both central and southern Italy. We will continue to work to provide a high level assistance response. This is also because robotic surgery is a new and important activity for our company – and it is ongoing Spano – And from a teaching point of view, it can bring great advantages. The Department of Surgery has shown that in this year of activity it concentrates a large number of interventions involving the use of a robot, ”the director concludes from Sassari.
