UK: Leeds Teaching Hospital achieves milestone of 5000th patients, receiving robotic surgery

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust are pleasured and proud to share their achievement of reaching a significant milestone in the robotics programme. Now, their 5000th patient is to receive robotic-assisted surgery.

The medical service-based NHS Trust hospital in Leeds aims to provide medical services to the people of the UK and other surrounding areas. 

The Leeds Teaching Hospital under NHS Trust installed its first da Vinci robotic system in 2005 at Leeds Children’s Hospital. Since then, their robotics programme has developed to become one of the biggest in the NHS, with one of the largest paediatric programmes in Europe.

New upgrades and the latest cutting-edge da Vinci system have recently expanded their robotics programme within adult cancer care, opening up unique specialities and procedures. 

 Last year, the Leeds Teaching Centre saw a gradual increase in adult patients receiving robotic-assisted cancer surgery compared to the previous year.

They extended their pleasure and shared that this is excellent news for their patients, who benefit from improved clinical outcomes, faster recovery times, and shorter lengths of stay.

They even Congratulated all their robotics teams across the Trust for their hard work over the years.
