CMR Surgical

Last week we shared our latest clinical milestone of 25,000 cases performed using #Versius. When CMR Surgical was founded, we set out to bring robotic-assisted minimal access surgery to more patients around the world – and we are delighted to partner with surgeons and hospitals to deliver against our mission to transform surgery for patients globally. Patients including our very own Logistics Planner, Hannah, who shares her #Versius story and the importance of CMR's mission to make minimal access surgery more accessible. We are privileged to be working with surgical teams around the world to bring #Versius to more hospitals, and help more patients like Hannah to receive the benefits of minimal access surgery. #TransformingSurgery

Congratulations to Dr Roy Patankar and his team at Zen Multispecialty Hospital who have successfully completed more than 200 surgical procedures with #Versius. At Zen Multispecialty Hospital #Versius is at the heart of their multispecialty robotic surgery programme and is used for a range of surgical procedures including Anterior Resection, Fundoplication, Radical Prostatectomy and Partial Nephrectomy. Congratulations to Dr Patankar and the entire Zen Multispecialty Hospital team on reaching this milestone. We are proud to partner with you to bring robotic-assisted minimal access surgery to more patients with #Versius. #TransformingSurgery

We are pleased to announce the appointment of seasoned MedTech leader Massimiliano (Max) Colella as Interim Chief Executive Officer as Supratim Bose steps down as CEO for personal reasons, and transitions to Vice-Chairman of the Board.   Max originally joined CMR as Chief Commercial Officer in 2023, helping to drive growth in installed base and bring Versius to more hospitals around the world, with the system having already been used in over 26,000 surgical procedures globally.    Max joined CMR from Evercare Group, where he served as Group Chief Executive Officer and Board member and brings 30 years of senior healthcare leadership experience to his new role. He previously held senior executive roles for Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Smith & Nephew.   Supratim will continue to bring his extensive MedTech experience to CMR—supporting us on our journey to bring minimal access surgery to more patients globally—in his new role on the Board.    Read more: https://lnkd.in/eb9QMjFW Massimiliano Colella

Congratulations to Patrick Bagan, Thoracic Surgeon at CENTRE HOSPITALIER VICTOR DUPOUY on the publication of ‘Three-Dimensional Holographic-Guided Robotic Lung Segmentectomy for Deep Pulmonary Nodules: Technique and Initial Results’ in Surgical Innovation journal. The article describes how using #Versius in combination with holographic reconstruction technology can assist in real-time navigation for lung resection in patients with small deep nodules.   Patrick will be speaking at the EACTS - European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (TAG) meeting on Thursday 10th October on his experience with Versius in complex thoracic surgery - we look forward to hearing more of your insights.

Only 3 weeks to go until the ESGE - European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy annual congress! 🎉 🇫🇷 You can book a hands-on session with #Versius, as well as a virtual reality demonstration to immerse yourself in the OR and see a #Versius surgery in 360°. Attending #ESGE2024? Book your #Versius experiences here: https://lnkd.in/eru2WZtX We hope to see you there!

With #Versius, we set out to develop an innovative product that would transform the way surgery is performed globally. The innovative design biomimicks the human arm, with the small, modular robotic arms providing versatile port placement that is unparalleled in robotic assisted surgery. This allows for complex procedures to be performed robotically that would otherwise be performed using open surgery, allowing more patients to experience the benefits of minimal access surgery (MAS), including reduced blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery. The versatility of the system is thanks to its small size and portability and has made robotic surgery more accessible to hospitals around the world, supporting surgeons such as Dr.Prasanna Venkatesh.M.K to drive efficiencies in their hospital, and provide more MAS to patients. #TransformingSurgery #CMRSurgical NU Hospitals

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's Addenbrooke's Hospital have now completed over 100 surgical procedures with #Versius within a year of introducing the system. Addenbrooke's Hospital is a large, internationally recognised NHS teaching and research hospital located in the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. At the hospital, Versius is used in gynaecological and colorectal surgery across a range of complex surgical procedures such as hysterectomies, and combined sacrocolpopexy and rectopexy. Congratulations Addenbrooke's! We’re delighted to see the progress being made and the positive impact Versius is having in an NHS hospital that serves the community we are a part of. 

We know that minimal access surgery provides many benefits to patients: smaller incisions, faster recovery times, reduced pain and scarring. We also know manual laparoscopy however can impose significant physical impact on surgeons, with a survey revealing one in five surgeons are considering early retirement due to physical impact of conducting manual laparoscopic surgery. #Versius was designed to address some of the known ergonomic issues that surgeons and surgical teams face in traditional forms of MAS. Prof Dr Subhash Khanna, Chief Medical Director at Swagat Superspecialty Hospital in Guwahati, India shares his experiences of how the ergonomic features of robotic surgery with #Versius have supported his surgical team and—by extension—patients alike: "With the arrival of the Versius system, surgery has entered a realm where precision meets compassion, transforming not just the technicalities but the very essence of healing. Each movement is guided with such gentle accuracy that the strain on both surgeon and patient is minimised, allowing every incision to be a step toward safety and trust. With its efficient robotic technology, #Versius ensures surgeons can perform operations with greater precision reduced strain & enhanced accuracy which minimizes complications and promotes safer surgical outcomes for my patients. For my patients, this means more than just a procedure—it means hope, a smoother recovery, and fewer complications. To see them wake with less pain, on the path to swift healing, fills me with gratitude, knowing that this technology offers them not just survival but the dignity of a brighter tomorrow." #TransformingSurgery #CMRSurgical

Earlier this week we announced that Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (MKUH), had introduced their second #Versius system and surpassed the 800 case milestone with Versius. MKUH was the first hospital in England to introduce Versius in 2019, and have now implemented a second Versius system to address the growing demand for robotic surgery at the hospital. The small and modular design of #Versius enabled the team to quickly roll-out a multi-speciality robotics programme, without needing to make any modifications to theatre rooms supporting a smooth implementation at the hospital, allowing more patients to receive the benefits of robotic-assisted minimal access surgery. MKUH currently use #Versius across a range of surgical specialties, including colorectal surgery, gynaecology, general surgery and urology – demonstrating how positive the introduction of robotic surgery has been for surgical teams throughout the hospital. Hear from Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust CEO Joe Harrison, and Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Mr Kailash Nakade on how Versius makes a difference for the whole hospital.
