It was the second time in Europe, and the first in our country, that a lively liver -fully robotic liver transplant was held. In surgery two roll surgeons came into action simultaneously. Portugal is one of the pioneer countries in this technique.
A 38 -year -old daughter donated part of the liver to the 65th mother in the first liver transplant of Dador Vivo fully robotic Held in Portugal, at Curry Cabral Hospital in Lisbon, today announced ULS São José.
In liver transplantation, performed a month ago at the Hepatobiliopancreatic Center and the transplantation of the São José Local Health Unit (ULS), two Surgical robots simultaneouslythe institution is good.
“While a team used a robot to extract part of the liver of the Dorado, operating through small holes, another team used a second robot to Extract the liver from the motherthen putting the partial agency donated, ”he reports in a statement.
According to ULS São José, the Dorado and the receiving, who suffered from chronic liver disease, with cancer disease, “recovered without problems”.
In Europe, it was the second Since a lively liver -fully robotic liver transplant was performed. “The first time it was registered, in ModenaItaly, was used just a robot, Therefore the donation and transplant procedure was done sequentially and not simultaneously, as in ULS São José ”, he says.
To Hugo Pinto Marquesdirector of the hepatobiliopancreatic center and transplantation, “Robotics has great advantages in organ donationfor the safety and possibility of faster recovery ”.
“Robotic transplantation has shown promising results for the same reason, and Portugal is one of the pioneer countries in this technique”, Hugo Pinto Marques highlights, cited not communicated.
The president of ULS São José, Matos Valente Rosaemphasizes, in turn, that this surgery is “another excellent example” of the bet that the institution has made ” innovation and, more specifically, in roboticsallowing the NHS to remain at the International Vanguard of Care Provision. ”
“It is also a form Dand attract and fix health professionals in the NHS”Defends Rosa Valente de Matos.
ULS São José had already performed, in October 2024, for the first time in Portugal, one, using this technology, but the robotics had only been used in the withdrawal of the agency.
Robotic surgery at the National Health Service began at the end of 2019, at the then Lisbon Central University Hospital Center (Chulc), and, however, a second system was acquired, allowing ULS São José to be a pioneer in the constitution of a robotic surgery center.
