Mr Amer Raza, Consultant Gynaecologist at Cromwell Hospital, has treated 100 gynaecological patients using the da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic-assisted surgical system. He also performed the first gynaecological operation on the da Vinci SP in the UK.
In April 2025, Cromwell Hospital installed the state-of-the-art da Vinci SP robotic-assisted system, enabling minimally invasive procedures that support faster patient recovery and strengthen its overall surgical strategy.
Cromwell Hospital is the first hospital in the UK to offer the da Vinci SP for gynaecology and HPB patients.
The da Vinci SP surgical system helps surgeons to perform complex keyhole operations. It provides surgeons with superior visualisation, enhanced vision, and greater precision and control and flexibility when operating.
There are huge benefits to patients who have robotic-assisted surgery such as, less pain, faster recovery time, less chance of scarring and tissue loss, and less blood loss.
The surgeon using the da Vinci robotic system sits at a console in the operating theatre, viewing live 3D images of the patient’s inner organs.
Using hand and foot controls, the surgeon can manipulate the camera system and miniature instruments inside the patient’s body, allowing extremely precise and delicate surgery to be performed through a single incision.
Mr Amer Raza said: “I’m delighted to have been able to help 100 patients since we installed the da Vinci SP. It’s a fantastic system designed to perform complex operations through a single incision, giving us more options to suit our patient’s needs and reduce their pain and recovery time.”
