Act BSWW has advised the Kliny Hospital in Krakow, Poland, on its purchase of an online training simulator from Intuitive Surgical for surgeons performing procedures with the da Vinci robot. The SimNow simulator is the first online training tool of its kind in Poland.

Intuitive Surgical manufactures the da Vinci surgical system — an advanced medical technology that helps tackle many treatment challenges by, for example, mitigating the risk of postoperative complications and reducing patient recovery periods.

Over 5000 da Vinci surgical systems have been installed worldwide. They are used for approximately 170 types of surgical procedures, especially uterine surgeries, prostatectomy, and large bowel resection, but also bladder and kidney surgeries. So far, six million da Vinci robot-assisted operations have been conducted worldwide.

Act BSWW didn't reply to our inquiry on the matter.
