King’s College Hospital London Dubai is expanding access to advanced robotic-assisted surgery with the Da Vinci Xi system, enabling greater precision, smaller incisions, and improved recovery outcomes for eligible patients undergoing complex general and endometriosis procedures.

The Da Vinci Xi platform enhances surgical access and visibility through high-definition binocular 3D vision and highly precise instrument movement. It allows surgeons to perform complex procedures using minimally invasive techniques, offering greater reach and dexterity through wristed instruments. This Intuitive system supports a highly controlled and immersive surgical experience, particularly in anatomically complex cases.

"Patients coming in for complex surgery are often anxious and want reassurance that they are in safe hands," said Dr Firas Younis, consultant general and colorectal surgeon at King’s College Hospital London Dubai. "Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery supports a highly precise approach, reducing disruption to surrounding tissue and supporting a smoother recovery for patients. It is a valuable option in complex endometriosis surgery, where precision and nerve preservation are essential."

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that can cause severe pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during intercourse, and fertility challenges. In some cases, the condition may involve the bowel, bladder, or other pelvic organs, requiring specialist surgical expertise and advanced training in robotic and laparoscopic surgery.

By introducing Da Vinci Xi robotic-assisted surgery, King’s College Hospital London Dubai is able to support more complex cases through smaller incisions, helping eligible patients experience less postoperative pain and a smoother recovery.

Key benefits of robotic-assisted surgery for patients include:

  • Smaller incisions and reduced scarring

  • Greater surgical precision and control through wristed instruments

  • Less postoperative pain in most cases

  • Shorter hospital stays

  • Faster overall recovery

  • Enhanced visualisation using high-definition 3D imaging

Each patient is individually assessed to determine whether robotic-assisted surgery is clinically appropriate, based on diagnosis, case complexity, and overall health.
