The View Hospital in Qatar, which is in affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, has announced the successful completion of its first robotic surgery.
The procedure “Robotic Assisted Right Inguinal Hernia Repair with Mesh – TAPP Technique” was performed using the Da Vinci Xi surgical system. The advantages of this system include less post-operative pain and early ambulation which lead to faster recovery.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Salaam Sadi, Consultant in Bariatric & General Surgery. A full time consultant at The View Hospital, Dr. Sadi is recognized for his advanced training and expertise in Bariatric surgery (weight loss), minimally invasive surgery and robotic surgery.
