Robotic Surgery transforming care
Our new investment will bring three new surgical robots to Barts Health hospitals and will increase access to less invasive procedures.
With the support of donations, Barts Charity has funded an additional three surgical robots for Barts NHS Health, which means for the first time this technology will be available at the Womens Heath department at Whipps Cross Hospital. This will transform treatment for countless women needing Women’s health surgery.
The state-of-the-art equipment enables surgery that is not possible with human hands – like removing hard-to-reach fibroids and complex cancer tumours. Little or no pain after the operation and a much-reduced risk of complications mean hospital stays are shorter and recovery at home is quicker. So, women can get on with their lives sooner. But it all relies on skilled surgeons highly trained in robotic surgery techniques.
Please, will you help train the next generation of robotic surgeons at Whipps Cross Hospital?
Michelle is a powerful example of the incredible impact of robotic surgery. Last year, diagnosed with a cancerous polyp, her best chance for survival was immediate surgery. Thanks to the robotic surgery at The Royal London Hospital, Michelle underwent a full hysterectomy and left hospital the day after. The ultra-precise nature of robotic surgery meant that Michelle didn’t need follow-up treatment either. So, she could put the worry behind her and get back to her life sooner.
“Because it was all done with such precision, I didn’t have much pain or soreness afterwards. The robot cured me.” – Michelle
Now, Barts Charity has funded a robot at Whipps Cross hospital meaning that women needing this type of surgery are about to receive revolutionary care at their local hospital.
By donating today, you can help equip more surgeons with the skills to perform the most intricate, complex surgery with the use of robotics. Will you help?
