St. Luke’s Medical Center – Global City is highlighting the role of robotic surgery in advancing women's healthcare, bringing greater attention to modern techniques used in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. Through continued medical innovation, specialist training, and the exchange of global expertise, the hospital is strengthening its capabilities in robotic-assisted surgery in the Philippines. The development was highlighted during the 3rd Annual Congress of the Society for Gynecologic Robotic Surgery of the Philippines, Inc. (SGRSP), held at the Henry Sy, Sr. Auditorium of St. Luke’s – Global City.
Robotic Surgery Brings New Possibilities to Women’s Healthcare
Robotic-assisted surgery is an important development in modern medicine, particularly in procedures that benefit from precise movements and minimally invasive techniques. In gynecologic care, these approaches may offer suitable patients an alternative to certain traditional surgical procedures, depending on their condition and treatment needs.
The congress provided an opportunity for specialists to exchange knowledge and discuss advances in robotic gynecologic surgery. These discussions highlight the continuing importance of medical education and the adoption of established best practices to support quality patient care.
Global Medical Expertise Supports Surgical Innovation
The congress featured Dr. Arnold P. Advincula of NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, an internationally recognized specialist in robotic gynecologic surgery. His expertise has also contributed to training St. Luke’s pioneering team of robotic gynecologic surgeons in minimally invasive procedures. The exchange of knowledge between local and international specialists helps strengthen clinical expertise and encourages the continued development of surgical practices. Through professional collaboration and training, healthcare teams can remain informed about evolving techniques and approaches to patient care.
St. Luke’s BGC Builds on Its Robotic Surgery Experience
Since 2010, St. Luke’s Medical Center has performed more than 3,000 robotic surgeries, reflecting its long-standing experience with this technology. This milestone underscores the hospital’s continued involvement in advancing robotic-assisted procedures and expanding medical expertise. As robotic technology continues to develop, specialist training and appropriate patient selection remain essential to its effective use. St. Luke’s participation in professional discussions on gynecologic robotics highlights the importance of combining technological innovation with clinical knowledge to support women's healthcare.
