The New Robotic Operating Room at Bulovka Was Blessed by the Hospital Chaplain
Bulovka University Hospital (FNB) joined the ranks of Czech hospitals using robotic assistance in surgery on Three Kings’ Day (January 6). The ceremonial ribbon was cut — in the presence of Hospital Director Mgr. Jan Kvaček and MUDr. Martin Šnajdauf, Ph.D. — by the Da Vinci Xi robot itself. At the request of the staff, the new robotic operating room was subsequently blessed by the hospital chaplain.
MUDr. Martin Šnajdauf, Ph.D., from the Department of Surgery of the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and Bulovka University Hospital describes what the new Da Vinci robot means for FNB:
