Glasgow children's hospital gets world-first surgical robot
Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children has become the first dedicated children's hospital in the world to own a Versius Plus surgical robot exclusively for paediatric care. The robot was funded by a donation of more than £1.5 million from the Coldstones Charitable Trust. The system, supported by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and manufacturer CMR Surgical, will enable robotic-assisted keyhole procedures for complex conditions including cancer, urology, thoracic, abdominal and gastrointestinal issues. Following an evaluation phase with over 30 procedures, the hospital aims to expand the range of treatable conditions and make the technology available to more children across Scotland.
