Reference centre for highly specialised minimally invasive da Vinci Xi® visceral surgery
Clarunis uses da Vinci Xi® for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The da Vinci Xi® robot is primarily used for complex operations such as oesophagectomy, where space is limited, for example in the small pelvis, and for obese patients.
Thanks to its expertise and high case numbers, the Claraspital has been named a reference centre for highly specialised minimally invasive da Vinci Xi® visceral surgery: Manufacturer Intuitive Surgical sends participants in its da Vinci® Technology Training Programme to Claraspital for introductory and advanced training. The Claraspital is the first and only da Vinci Xi® reference centre in Switzerland and one of the few centres in Europe.
