Ultra-precise robotic surgical procedures performed by an expert

Medicover Hospital is one of few medical centres in Poland to have the most advanced robotic system in the world – Da Vinci.

It makes it possible to perform extremely precise cancer surgery procedures – quickly, safely and under the control of an experienced operator.

Complete removal of neoplastic lesions while preserving as much of the unaffected tissue as possible helps patients recover faster. Ultra-precise colorectal surgery procedures with the use of the da Vinci surgical robot, which ensuresbetter results than laparoscopy and makes it possible to perform surgery even in extremely difficult cases, are performed by Jerzy Draus MD PhD, one of the leading experts in Europe.

Thanks to comprehensive education and experience gained in leading surgical centres in the world, he has created a program of comprehensive patient care using the Fast Track Surgery system.

Jerzy Draus has performed

1000 colorectal cancer
