The first medical facility in Taiwan to use daVinci robotic arms! Breast cancer reconstruction surgery with minimal invasiveness provides new insights!

Not only can appropriate, healthful plastic surgery help patients regain their functions and maintain survival, but it also enhances their quality of life! Dr. Chen Xi-Gen, deputy superintendent of Tri-service General Hospital, stated that it is the most important sense of mission he has felt since the beginning of his medical career.

Over the last three decades, the development of minimally invasive surgery has propelled the medical community forward by leaps and bounds. In comparison to the issue of minor angle deviations encountered in traditional endoscopic surgery, da Vinci robotic arms exhibit greater stability!As Taiwan’s first hospital to introduce da Vinci robotic arms, the Department of Breast Surgery has joined the lineup of robotic arm users, in addition to the Departments of Urology, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, General Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery.

Dr. Chen Xi-Gen stated that a 40-year-old woman named Ms. Yang previously underwent partial resection and retention surgery for bilateral breast cancer, but breast deformation and asymmetry between the left and right sides persisted. This even impacted her marriage. Having said that, the da Vinci surgery not only created a small wound, but also used da Vinci robotic arms to place breast implants in the same wound site and under the same anesthesia. In addition to removing breast cancer, breast reconstruction can be performed immediately!
