CMR Surgical

We’re excited to announce that CMR Surgical has been granted U.S. FDA Marketing Authorization for the use of #Versius in Cholecystectomy. The FDA marketing authorization of #Versius is a significant milestone, with Versius being the first multi-port, soft tissue general surgical Robotic Assisted Surgical Device (RASD) to successfully be authorized through FDA’s De Novo application process. Versius is a RASD intended to assist in the precise and accurate control of Versius Surgical endoscopic instruments and is indicated in the U.S. for adult patients 22 years of age and older, eligible for soft tissue minimal access surgery, for cholecystectomy.

Minimal access surgery (MAS) provides many known benefits to patients: smaller incisions, faster recovery times, reduced pain and scarring. However manual laparoscopy can be very physically and mentally demanding on a surgeon, with many experiencing musculoskeletal pain as a result of operating, and 1 in 5 surgeons considering early retirement due to the physical impact of surgery. The technical difficulty of manual laparoscopy, combined with the complexity of certain cases can also increase stress while operating; potentially impacting surgical outcomes. Robotic-assisted MAS with systems such as #Versius are recognised as a way to addresses the ergonomic issues that currently plague surgeons during traditional methods of MAS - with multiple features such as ergonomic hand controls, 3D visualisation, and a height adjustable open surgeon console supporting improved ergonomics during surgery. But how can the benefits of operating robotically for surgeons be scientifically quantified? In a recent study, researchers at Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center - JUMISC used a set of wearable technologies to record and analyse the ergonomics and stress levels of surgeons during the performance of manual laparoscopy and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with #Versius, with results showing better ergonomic outcomes for the surgeon when performing robotic-assisted procedures over manual laparoscopy. It is wonderful to see scientific analysis on the use of #Versius to determine how conditions in surgery can be optimised for surgeons using robotic surgery for the benefit of surgeons and patients alike!

The Versius robotic surgery programme at HCA Healthcare UK's The Wellington Hospital reached a new milestone this week - expanding their offering with #Versius. Consultant Urologist Mr Sonpreet Rai successfully completed a radical nephrectomy, marking the first Versius urology procedure in the private sector. The Wellington Hospital – one of the largest private hospitals in the UK and the first hospital in the UK private sector to offer robotic assisted surgery with Versius - introduced Versius in January, initially using the system to perform a range of complex colorectal procedures including anterior resections and hemicolectomies. Congratulations to Sonpreet and the entire team at The Wellington for enabling more patients to benefit from robotic-assisted minimal access surgery with #Versius!

Exciting to be able to showcase the #Versius Virtual Reality tools at the Annual Scientific Update in #Urogynaecology in London #BSUG British Society of Urogynaecology in the incredible #RCOG location. Looking forward to Mark Slack's talk tomorrow, CMO and co-founder CMR Surgical in Cambridge. Ashish Pradhan Ivilina Pandeva from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust #roboticsurgery

"I am a great believer in evidence-based medicine you see, because then you are doing the best for your patients." Hear our Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder, Dr Mark Slack discuss the role of AI in the OR, how we're working to address some of the access barriers to robotic surgery with #Versius, and the potential of robotic surgery and its data insights to revolutionise healthcare in the latest episode of the Surgibots Podcast. Thank you Henry Norton for an insightful discussion on all things robotic surgery and digital in Healthcare!

"The Versius Surgical System has revolutionised my experience in the OR. Its open console fosters seamless collaboration, while foot-free controls keep me focused on complex procedures like Low Anterior Resection. With the innovative design of #Versius, I can focus fully on surgery without distraction, enhancing both precision and teamwork. Precision, ease, and efficiency—all at my fingertips." Robotic Colorectal and General Surgeon at Al Zahra Pvt. Hospital Dubai, Prof. Dr. Gokhan Cipe FASCRS(int), FEBS-Coloproctology on how #Versius has transformed his surgical experience in the operating room. #TransformingSurgery

Congratulations to the team at Ospedale Sant'Antonio for establishing their first-ever robotic surgery programme with #Versius! Since commencing their programme in August, the general surgery team have already completed 50 cases with #Versius, using the system across a range of procedures including rectopexy, anterior resection, hernia repair and subtotal colectomy. Ospedale Sant'Antonio is a part of Azienda Ospedaliera Università of Padova, alongside Ospedale Universitario Padova, whose urology team are using #Versius to perform a range of urological procedures including retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy, hysteropexy and prostatectomy demonstrating the versatility of the system. Congratulations again to both hospitals for maximising use of #Versius to bring more patients robotic-assisted minimal access surgery!

We are looking forwards to being with the BIARGS _ community in Liverpool next week 🐞 On Day 1 there will be updates from 3 #Versius surgeons Ashish Pradhan, Paul I. Stanciu and Kenneth Lim who are driving innovation in gynaecology across sub specialties 🚀 If you're gonna be there we would love to see you🤖 Nahid Gul FRCOG CMR Surgical

🤖 Introducing Dr Bot and Dex! 🤖 Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (MKUH) the two #Versius surgical robots have now been named – thanks to the children of Milton Keynes. The surgery teams at MKUH asked children from local schools to come up with ideas for names, with surgeons Barrie Keeler and Richard O’Hara announcing the winners from a shortlist of entries at a special naming ceremony held at the end of October. The children whose names were selected were invited to the Trust's theatres to try their surgical skills out on #Versius (without patients, of course!) At MKUH, the two #Versius systems – now called Dr Bot and Dex – are routinely used across colorectal, gynaecology, general surgery and urology cases with the Trust recently surpassing 800 surgical procedures performed with #Versius. A big thank you to MKUH for including us in the naming ceremony, and for all the children who helped to name Dr Bot and Dex!

Versius is compact and modular, making it a versatile and portable surgical robot that can seamlessly integrate into virtually any operating room to perform. It's modularity and small size make #Versius easy for surgeons to adopt and easy to move around a hospital, ultimately maximising utilisation. With Versius, you can place your ports where you want them, to best suit the needs of each patient - supporting ease of adoption for surgeons, and allowing them to operate without needing to change their approach from laparoscopy. #TransformingSurgery
