Robotic Lung Transplant Performed at Beilinson Hospital
Published
Last month, a lung transplant was performed at Beilinson Hospital using the "da Vinci" robot. The surgery was done without opening the chest and cutting the ribs, and the medical team used the robot to carry out the procedures.
Usually, a lung transplant requires opening the chest and cutting the ribs. This is a complex method, and recovery from it can take time. The new approach makes it possible to avoid this traditional technique, and it is therefore considered a significant change in the field of transplantation.
The robot helps doctors work with great precision inside the body. With its help, the surgery can be performed in a controlled manner, without opening the large part of the chest. Details about the patient and his health condition were not published at the source.
The transplant at Beilinson shows the progress of medicine in Israel in the field of medical technology. In the future, methods like this may become more common, but for now it is a single surgery performed at one hospital.
