Dr. Decebal Fodor, specializat în chirurgia robotică: "Pentru România, 50 de operaţii pe an e o cazuistică bună. În Elveţia, un chirurg care operează preponderent chirurgia de perete abdominal face undeva cam 200 de intervenţii robotice"

Robotic surgery is gaining popularity in Romania, but the number of procedures performed is significantly lower than in other European countries. Dr. Decebal Fodor highlights that while 50 robotic surgeries per year is considered good in Romania, surgeons in Switzerland perform around 200 annually. The top Romanian surgeon completed about 100 procedures last year, indicating a gap compared to Europe. Fodor describes the evolving relationship between the surgeon and the robot, emphasizing the precision and ergonomic advantages of robotic systems, which allow for extended operation times without fatigue.
