Philippine doctors were impressed with the single docking technique and the skillful dissection technique that is minimally invasive by doctors at Binh Dan Hospital.

According to Dr. Nguyen Phu Huu, deputy head of the GI ward at Binh Dan Hospital, previously, a case of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer at the CGHMC could take up to 6 hours, but now it is only 2 hours and 30 minutes with the guidance of doctors from Binh Dan Hospital.

Huu said he will support and guide doctors of the CGHMC to carry out more cases and make presentations to analyse important notes about robotic surgery in gastric and colorectal cancer, making it easier for Philippine colleagues to master more knowledge and skills of the technique.
