GSAM Hospital “Implements Artisential” to perform Robot-Grade High-Tech Medical Operations

Surgeon Kim Chang-hyeon and Surgeon Jeong Deok-hyeon successfully performs 1000 cases of ‘Artisential’ operations.

GSAM Hospital revealed on the 9th of last month that they are performing robot-grade high-tech operations with the help of ‘Artisential’ – a next-generation surgery equipment.

 

GSAM Hospital is a hospital that gained national recognition for its specialized cancer treatment. It specializes in surgical operations on major cancers such as stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatobiliary pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, the hospital is highly experienced in operations on hernias, gallbladder diseases, acute appendicitis and various other frequently performed surgical operations.
 

GSAM Hospital is gaining further recognition as a hospital with innovative technology by expanding the number of performed artisential operation cases since they first adopted the artisential equipment.

 

An artisential device’s claw (end-tool which enters the body to perform surgery) is formed in a multi-joint structure. It’s used in a laparoscopic operational procedure, where the surgeon holds the device in their hand and manually controls the joints of the device. The laparoscopic operational devices that were used in the past had a claw that was positioned straight and didn’t have the ability to apply motions that needed joints. But now, with artisential and its multi-joint structure, it has been reviewed and praised worldwide as innovative technology, leaping over and overcoming the setbacks of the previous devices.


Surgeon Kim Chang-hyeon and Surgeon Jeong Deok-hyeon from GSAM Hospital has performed more than 1000 cases of artisential operations. The biggest advantage to the Artisential Operation procedure is that the multi-joint function allows the device to bend in all four directions and is able to reenact the exact hand motions of the operation surgeon, providing patients with a more elaborate and stable operation experience. This will positively reflect onto the operational performance – the perfect removal of tumors, minimization of blood loss, anatomical structure difficulties that were difficult to overcome through the pervious straight-set device, and will also shorten the operation time.
 

Surgeon Kim Chang-hyeon has been utilizing the artisential equipment at GSAM Hospital from the very early beginning when the equipment was first released.
 

Surgeon Kim explains that “It’s true that there were indeed a lot of regulations on movement during operations with the previous no-joint, straight-set device. But now, with the multi-joint, multi-direction device, it is possible to overcome the previous limitations, and it is now possible to perform operations on a more elaborate and perfectionism as the artisential equipment is capable of making real human hand-like movements.” In conclusion, the implementation of artisential equipment has leaded to an improvement of operational results, affecting both doctors and patients in positive ways.

 

GSAM Hospital continues to apply artisential operations to major cancers and frequently performed operations to provide its patients with highly satisfactory medical service.


A spokesperson of GSAM Hospital said “Artisential Operations will provide our patients with higher satisfaction rates, and GSAM Hospital will continue to collect clinical data regarding artisential operations and use it as a database for further treatment and study.”
