Technological Vanguard at Siglo XXI: IMSS Consolidates Robotic Surgery for Complex Oncological Care / @zoerobledo @Tu_IMSS >>>

#SaludIMSS2026 #CirugíaRobótica —— #MexicanSocialSecurityInstitute, #Mexico.- The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has attained a new milestone in oncological precision through the successful implementation of robotic-assisted surgery at the Siglo XXI National Medical Center. Led by the esteemed Dr. Rafael Medrano Guzmán, the surgical team utilized the Da Vinci platform to treat a 46-year-old patient named Erika, whose complex diagnosis was further complicated by morbid obesity. This high-tech intervention underscores the institution’s «commitment to medical innovation» and its transition toward a future where invasive traditional procedures are replaced by refined, automated accuracy.

Operating within the Oncology Hospital of the UMAE, specialists performed a comprehensive procedure that included the removal of the uterus and ovaries with minimal anatomical disruption. Dr. Rafael Medrano Guzmán emphasized that the robotic system allowed for a sophisticated «cytoreductive staging» process, reducing blood loss to a mere 50 milliliters during the two-hour surgery. This ergonomic approach provided a critical advantage for the patient, whose pre-existing health factors would have rendered a conventional open-air laparotomy significantly more hazardous.

The benefits of this minimally invasive technique were immediately evident as the patient achieved a stable recovery and was discharged just 48 hours after the operation. Unlike traditional methods that require lengthy hospitalizations, the robotic assistance allowed Erika to resume her daily activities within a single week, avoiding the typical risks of infection. Such results highlight the vasta experience of the Gynaecologic Oncology Department in managing malignant pathologies with the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

As cancer of the endometrio remains a prevalent threat to women’s health, the integration of robotics offers a «transformative beacon of hope» for timely and effective treatment. By reducing post-operative complications, IMSS ensures that patients can transition to complementary therapies without delay, solidifying its role as a leader in advanced public healthcare.
