Surgery with a robotic system: advantages for the patient and the surgeon
- Precision: The robot eliminates hand tremors, ensuring high accuracy.
- Visualization: 3D images with magnification for better visibility of the operative field.
- Accessibility: Operating in hard-to-reach, narrow areas.
- Minimally invasive: Small incisions, less pain, less blood loss.
- Fast recovery: The patient recovers faster.
Important: Robotic surgery is not right for everyone. Consult a doctor about the most suitable method for you.
Additional benefits:
- Better ergonomics for the surgeon, reduces fatigue.
- Shorter duration of some operations.
- Possibility of remote operation.
Robotic surgery in cardiovascular diseases
Minimally invasive:
- No major open surgery
- Access through small incisions
- More comfortable for the patient
- Shorter recovery
Suitable for:
- Heart valve repair and replacement (including TAVI)
- Robotic bypass surgery
- Rhythm disturbances
- Problems in the right or left atrium
A solution for patients with multiple surgeries:
- Access through a small incision under the arm
- No heart damage
On a beating heart:
- No cardiac arrest
- No disturbances in cardiac functions
- Shorter operation
- Minimal risk of infections, bleeding and blood transfusion
Robotic surgery in general surgery
Minimally invasive:
- Treatment of abdominal and digestive diseases
- Small incisions, less pain, faster recovery
Applications:
- Hernias
- Obesity
- Colon cancer
- Inflammatory bowel diseases
- Colorectal surgery (including rectal cancer)
- Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass)
Advantages:
- Colorectal surgery: Protection of nerves in the operative area
- Bariatric surgery: Easier surgery, shorter recovery
- Overall: Better precision, better visualization
Additional benefits:
- Better ergonomics for the surgeon, reduces fatigue
- Less blood loss
- Shorter duration of some operations
Robotic surgery in gynecology
A minimally invasive alternative:
- For women who need gynecological surgery
- Small incisions, less pain, faster recovery
Applications:
- Endometriosis
- Abdominal and pelvic pain
- Myoma of the uterus
- Abnormal bleeding
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Gynecological cancer (cancer of the endometrium, cervix, ovaries)
- Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
- Myomectomy (removal of fibroid nodes)
- Sacrocolpopexy (correction of vaginal or uterine prolapse)
- Fallopian tube surgery
Advantages:
- Nerve preservation: Better urinary function and sex life
- Better precision: Less trauma, faster healing
- 3D visualization: Better visibility for the surgeon
Robotic surgery in urology
Commonly used:
- In men with urological diseases
- Minimally invasive
Applications:
- Unblocking of the kidneys (pyeloplasty)
- Kidney cancer (robotic partial nephrectomy)
- Prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy)
Advantages:
- Minimally invasive: Small incisions, less pain, faster recovery
- Better urinary control: Preservation of delicate structures
- Better erectile function: Less nerve trauma
Comparison with conventional surgery
- Prostatectomy: Shorter incision, less blood loss, faster recovery
- Partial nephrectomy: Better kidney function, shorter hospital stay
Robotic rehabilitation
Applications:
- Stroke (paralysis)
- Traumatic brain injury
- Paralysis due to a brain tumor
- Spinal cord injury
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Cerebral paralysis
- Gait and balance disorders in geriatric patients
- Nerve damage
- After orthopedic operations
Types:
- Robotic walking training
- Robotic hand and palm training
- Robotic training for balance and coordination
- Occupational therapy
- Speech and language and swallowing therapy
- Gait analysis
- Evaluation and treatment of spasticity
- Injections preventing excessive muscle contraction
Lokomat Pro with pediatric orthoses, such as Walking Robot for walking, Armeo Spring for upper limbs, C-Mill VR+ for balance.
WHAT ARE THE STEPS?
01
CONSULTATION
Get your consultation to discuss the details of the procedure you want. During the consultation, we may ask questions related to your health and, if necessary, take medical pictures to help the medical team provide feedback.
02

We partner with of the most renowned hospitals, clinics and medical professionals, offering world-class healthcare services in Europe, Turkey and the Middle East. We give you the opportunity to choose your surgeon/doctor, with whom you will subsequently consult online or live to clarify every detail of the intervention.
03
PREPARATION OF A PERSONAL PLAN
We will prepare a personal plan that will include pre-operative procedures, examinations and tests, medical assistance, accommodation, transfers, meals, the intervention that you want and rehabilitation procedures in the recovery process, if necessary. We will then contact you again to provide you with the plan and discuss the package value and possible changes.
04
ARRIVAL
Upon arrival at the airport you will be met by our representative who will accompany you to your accommodation. All intercity transportation will be provided to facilitate your stay. Before the procedure, you will need to undergo medical tests to make sure you are in good health. During the entire stay, you will receive medical assistance and translation into Bulgarian for your convenience.
05
THE DAY OF THE INTERVENTION
Before the procedure, you will meet again with your doctor to discuss final details. The procedure usually takes a few hours and you will likely spend at least one night in the hospital under observation.
06
RECOVERY
After the procedure, you will need to rest and follow the instructions given to you by the doctor in order to have a faster and more successful recovery. Also, during the remaining days of your stay in the respective country, you will have several more post-operative examinations.
