Greater precision surgical care with cutting-edge robotic system

Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) is one of the pioneering institutions in the Philippines to acquire the Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System, ushering in a new era of precision in surgical care.

The Da Vinci Systems robotic surgery offers several advantages. It allows surgeons to make smaller incisions, reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing. Patients experience less pain and discomfort, leading to shorter hospital stays and quicker recoveries. This means they can return to their normal routines sooner, with minimal scarring and reduced need for blood transfusions.
