Prague, March 15 (CTK) – The first robotic heart operation was performed in the Czech Republic in Prague’s Na Homolce hospital this week, hospital spokeswoman Jitka Kalouskova told CTK today.
Six patients suffering from heart failure underwent the unique operation using robotic systems.
The hospital, which holds an international quality accreditation, ranks among pioneers in robotic operations in the Czech Republic. It opened a robotic operating theatre in October 2005.
