Riyadh: In collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Centre, Yas Clinic Khalifa City has launched an advanced robotic spine surgery programme. This initiative utilizes an intelligent navigation system powered by artificial intelligence, marking a significant step in establishing Abu Dhabi as a leading hub for advanced medical care.
According to Emirates News Agency, the launch follows the successful completion of two complex procedures by the medical team. The surgeries were performed on female patients in their fifties and sixties who were experiencing spinal canal stenosis and chronic pain, which had impaired their mobility.
The precision of the robotic intervention accelerated the patients' recovery and enabled them to return to their normal lives. Dr. Maysoon Al Karam, Chief Medical Officer at the hospital, stated that the technology represents a breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery, enabling unprecedented levels of precision and safety while significantly reducing potential risks.
Professor Amr El-Shawarbi, Consultant Neurosurgeon, mentioned that the system constitutes a revolution in spinal surgery by providing complete control and extreme accuracy, offering patients better prospects for safe and rapid recovery.
The launch is part of the hospital's strategy to integrate cutting-edge medical solutions and expand the scope of robotic surgery to include other specialties in the future, reinforcing Abu Dhabi's position as a regional destination for advanced surgical procedures.
