Versius for Thoracic Surgeons
What is Versius?
Versius was designed to enable more patients around the world to have access to the highest quality of surgical care.
This means giving thoracic surgeons an enhanced tool complete with 3D visualisation and small fully wristed instruments that can work precisely in the thoracic cavity, including in hard-to-reach areas.
“The thoracic surgeons have been waiting for quite a long time for a suitable system for robotic surgery… a system which makes it possible to work together with the thoracic surgeon in the stiff rib cage and the inner side and that is something that is quite difficult…”
We are happy because it was easy for us to learn the system… and to acquire all the skills we need.”
