Robotic Surgery Clinic (H.U.B)

The Robotic Surgery Clinic at the Brussels University Hospital is the home of surgical specialities that incorporate robot-assisted and minimally invasive techniques in their everyday practice. Pioneers in Belgium, we adopted this technology more than two decades ago with facilities at the Jules Bordet Institute, the Erasmus Hospital and the Queen Fabiola Childrens University Hospital  (HUDERF). After a number of technical and material developments, we currently use the Da Vinci Xi system with a double console (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and contribute actively to perfecting this high precision approach.

Our early commitment to robotic surgery enabled us to develop recognised expertise and retain a leadership position in this continuously evolving field. We seek to offer leading edge surgical treatment by combining technological innovation and university excellence while playing a key role in training surgeons in Belgium and Europe.
