The Diakonie Klinikum in Siegen has reached a milestone with its modern Da Vinci surgical robot. Under the direction of head physician Dr. Mahmoud Farzat, more than 2,000 operations have been successfully performed.
A good five years ago, the Diakonie Klinikum in Siegen invested in the high-tech Da Vinci surgical robot, a decision that proved to be groundbreaking for the urology department. Today, the team led by Head Physician Dr. Mahmoud Farzat can look back on over 2,000 robot-assisted operations. Dr. Farzat is proud: "The milestone of 2,000 robot-assisted operations in just over five years is a clear testament to the expertise and commitment of our entire team."
Robot-assisted surgery has established itself as a gentle surgical method, particularly for prostate, kidney and bladder cancer as well as other complex diseases of the urinary tract. "Thanks to the robot's fine motor skills and magnified view, we can precisely identify and operate on even the smallest structures," explains Dr. Farzat. This has already helped to treat over 1,000 prostate cancer patients and more than 200 bladder cancer and 300 kidney cancer patients.
With two Da Vinci surgical robots and an experienced team of surgeons, anaesthetists and nursing staff, Stilling is one of the larger centers of its kind in Germany. The clinic attracts patients from all over the country and abroad. The clinic is also committed to scientific research, regularly publishing papers and presenting its findings at specialist congresses. "This scientific work enables us to continuously improve our methods," emphasizes Dr. Farzat. (PM/Red)
