The program will operate out of Royal Columbian Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital by fall 2025
Starting fall 2025, patients visiting Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals can benefit from robotic surgery — thanks to the $9-million robotic surgery program announced by Fraser Health on Thursday.
According to Dr. Dave Konkin, regional medical director and regional department head for surgery at Fraser Health, the program will benefit patients by “enabling more precise and minimally invasive surgery, leading to less pain and scarring as well as faster recovery times.” While Royal Columbian Hospital will begin using the robotics for urological procedures, Surrey Memorial Hospital will employ the robotics for ear, nose, throat and thoracic procedures.
