Robotic technology to achieve the best outcomes for patients

Robotic technology is transforming patient experience and clinical outcomes but until recently its high cost has limited its uptake. New providers have reduced both the cost (£1,687 per case) and instrument size (5mm) so they are now suited for complex reconstructive surgery in childhood. Royal Manchester Children’s  is the largest children’s hospital in the UK and being able to offer robotic surgery will be essential to providing the best patient outcomes for complex congenital malformations such as bladder.
