Thoracic Surgery by SHURUI Single-Port Surgical Robot

Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong

Summary

The introduction of single-port surgical robot has been a transformative breakthrough in the medical field, representing a significant advancement in minimally invasive procedures. One notable innovation is the SHURUI single-port surgical robot (SP), developed by Beijing Surgerii Robotics Company Limited. The SHURUI SP represents a cutting-edge technology in the field. This system features snake-like surgical instruments utilizing "dual continuum mechanism", which enables precise single-port procedures with wide range of motion and high load capacity. The SHURUI SP has been cleared by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for use in urology and gynecology and has completed clinical trials for general surgery and thoracic surgery. It is China's first and the world's second approved single-port surgical robot. Compared to multi-port surgical robots, it can provide patients with less trauma, fewer complications, and faster recovery. The SHURUI SP has also achieved significant breakthroughs in clinical applications. It conducted the world's first randomized controlled clinical trial on single-port robotic urologic surgery and introduced a series of innovative surgical paradigms. These include the world's first single-port sleeve lobectomy, single-port retroperitoneal adrenalectomy, single-port retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy, single-port distal gastrectomy (Billroth I anastomosis), and single-port total gastrectomy. Our centre is the first robotic surgical centre in Hong Kong since 2005. Over the years, investigators have established our centre to be one of the leading centre in Hong Kong and the region, with involvement in various new development in thoracic robotic procedures, publications and books, and more recently in robotic endo-lumenal procedures. In this study, investigators evaluate the early surgical outcome and objective functional outcome of patients undergoing robotic thoracic surgery by SHURUI SP.
