Korea University Guro Hospital has achieved a remarkable milestone in robotic surgery, reaching 5,000 total robotic surgical procedures. The hospital has been particularly innovative in single-port robotic surgery, establishing itself as a global leader in advanced medical techniques across multiple medical departments including obstetrics, hepatobiliary surgery, cardiovascular surgery, urology, colorectal surgery, and breast endocrine surgery.

The hospital has distinguished itself by performing the world's highest number of single-port thoracic robotic surgeries and complex surgical procedures. They have been groundbreaking in areas like single-port robotic esophageal cancer surgery and were the first in Korea to successfully complete an expanded robotic single-port cholecystectomy. Their expertise has been so recognized that they have been designated as global training centers for single-port robotic surgical techniques.

In response to increasing patient demand, the hospital has invested in advanced robotic surgical equipment, including the da Vinci Xi and da Vinci SP systems. They've also created a "Robotic Surgery One-Stop Center" to provide comprehensive patient care, from pre-surgical preparation to post-surgical management. The hospital's leadership emphasizes their commitment to precision medicine and establishing global standards in robotic surgical techniques.
