(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research (KFSHRC) displayed its advanced robotic surgery system at the Global Health Exhibition 2025, held at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center. The exhibition attracted healthcare leaders, policymakers, and experts from around the world. The showcase underscores KFSHRC's commitment to adopting cutting-edge medical technologies and reinforces Saudi Arabia's position as a regional leader in healthcare innovation.

In 2024, KFSHRC performed 1,370 robotic surgeries, representing a 28% increase from the previous year. The growth demonstrates the hospital's continued investment in advanced surgical technologies and reflects the seamless integration of technical precision with clinical expertise in performing complex procedures.

KFSHRC has established itself as a global leader in robotic surgery innovation, moving beyond basic adoption to pioneering advanced applications. The hospital has achieved several world firsts, including the first complete robotic liver transplant, the first complete robotic heart transplant, and the first robotic resection of an intracranial brain tumor. These milestones have elevated surgical precision standards worldwide and opened new possibilities for the future of precision surgical medicine.

Robotic surgery offers unprecedented precision beyond traditional manual techniques. Advanced three-dimensional visualization and robotic arms enable surgeons to perform procedures with exceptional control and accuracy. By minimizing incision size and trauma, robotic surgery reduces recovery time, decreases complications, and significantly improves patient outcomes, making it ideal for complex and minimally invasive procedures.

This initiative aligns with KFSHRC's strategic vision to establish robotic surgery as the preferred approach for high-precision operations and solidify its position as a global leader in the field. The hospital is investing in advanced surgical infrastructure and developing Saudi talent through comprehensive training on the latest robotic surgery systems.

KFSHRC has been ranked first in the Middle East and North Africa and fifteenth globally among the world's top 250 academic medical centers for 2025 and recognized by Brand Finance as the region's most valuable healthcare brand. It is also listed among Newsweek's World's Best Hospitals 2025, Best Smart Hospitals 2026, and Best Specialized Hospitals 2026, reaffirming its leadership in innovation-driven care.
