The Royal Medical Services (RMS) for Hospitals of the Bahrain Defense Force (BDF) successfully conducted five malignant tumour removal surgeries using the Hugo robotic-assisted surgery system. Those are the first robotic surgeries in Bahrain. Dr. Ayman Raees, Consultant Urologist and Acting Chief of Medical Staff, led the team in performing three prostate cancer surgeries on patients in their fifties and sixties, one kidney tumour removal, and one adrenal gland tumour removal on a patient in her 30s. All procedures were successful with no complications. Brigadier General Dr. Shaikh Fahad bin Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Commander of RMS, highlighted that the acquisition of Hugo robotic-assisted surgery system makes the RMS the first medical institution in the Middle East and North Africa to adopt this technology. This development aims to enhance healthcare services and ensure a high-quality health environment for all community members. On his part, Dr. Raees noted that the Hugo robotic-assisted surg ery system offers superior precision, control, and flexibility compared to traditional surgeries, leading to quicker patient recovery and shorter hospital stays. The system features a 3D camera and four robotic arms equipped with surgical instruments, allowing the surgeon to control the arms via a remote console, reducing infection risks and improving surgical outcomes. Looking ahead, the hospital plans to use the robotic system for various surgeries, including general surgery, gynaecology, and bariatric surgery, to continue providing state-of-the-art medical services.
