16 months after the start of robotic surgery at S. Maria della Scaletta, last Monday, the 500 interventions carried out with the Da Vinci Xi Robot. A magnificent achievement, which once again underlines the farsightedness of the investment made by the Cassa di Risparmio di Imola Foundation, which financed its three-year rental.
As many as 162 general surgery operations were carried out, the first discipline to start this experience on 9 January last year, followed by gynaecology, with 116 operations and urology with 92, which started after a few months. A total of 370 operations were carried out by the company’s professionals, to which are added the 130 carried out by the gynecology and physiopathology of human reproduction and urology operational units of the Sant’Orsola Polyclinic, as part of the agreement signed between the two companies, engaged in a joint robotics development project with objectives of qualification and containment of waiting times for elective surgery.
“I am extraordinary numbers – explains the director of the surgical department Dr. Michele Masetti – That in the first quarter of 2024 they placed the Imola Hospital in eleventh place in Italy out of the 130 hospitals equipped with a single robotic platforma “ranking” that we quickly climbed (in 2023 we were in 25th place) thanks to the investment in specialized professionals of the Company, Doctor Stefano Tamburro, director of our Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit since March 2023 and Doctor Marco Garofalo who arrived at the end of last year but above all to the surgical, medical, nursing and technical teams of the surgical block, who trained with precision and speed, facing this new challenge with great professionalism and enthusiasm and carrying it forward with quantitative, but above all qualitative, results, which I believe honor our territory.”
