COMPETENCES IN ROBOT-ASSISTED SURGERY

Launch of the first pediatric robotic surgery program in the Russian Federation 12/2022.

The world's first experience of performing robot-assisted operations in children on the Versius platform manufactured by CMR company (UK) as part of clinical trials in 2022-2024.

The world's first robotic procedures performed in children for duodenojejunostomy in case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome, interposition of the appendix to replace cicatricial stricture of the ureter, resection of the common bile duct cyst and performing hepaticoduodenoanastomosis, removal of magnetic foreign bodies and suturing of gastrointestinal perforations, hitching of aberrant renal vessels, repair of post-traumatic diaphragmatic defect, construction of ureteral anastomoses.

Opening of the first in the Russian Federation Center for Pediatric Robotic Surgery in the Irkutsk State Regional Children's Clinical Hospital.
