Royal Surrey receives donated da Vinci 5 surgical robot

Royal Surrey has received a donated da Vinci 5 surgical robot, supported by Gordon and Stella Murray following Gordon’s treatment at the Guildford hospital.

The equipment adds to an established robotic surgery service. BBC reporting estimates potential treatment for up to 600 patients a year; that is expected capacity, not activity already delivered.

The donation does not establish that the hospital’s separate Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre has opened.
