State-of-the-art surgery: Da Vinci robot revolutionizes patient care in Graz!

In the heart of Graz, in the renowned Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy, a significant achievement in the field of medical technology was celebrated: the introduction of the state-of-the-art surgical assistance system “Da Vinci”. This innovative, robot-assisted system not only promises to significantly improve surgical precision, but also enables minimally invasive procedures that significantly reduce the burden on patients. State Health Councilor Karlheinz Kornhäusl emphasized the advantages such as faster recovery and increased patient safety that this system brings and declared it the basis for future-oriented healthcare, the Graz-Seckau Diocese reported on Monday.

The ceremonial blessing of the robot, accompanied by important personalities such as diocesan bishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl and the overall leader of the Brothers of Mercy, Oliver Szmej, set a celebratory setting. Bishop Krautwaschl expressed the hope that the “Da Vinci” robot would not only be a technical advance, but also a “blessing for patients and doctors.” The operation of this system will allow the hospital to more effectively advance medical education as a teaching hospital and incorporate advanced, minimally invasive methods, further strengthening the quality of medical education, Szmej explained. With around 800 employees, the hospital not only values ​​high-quality patient care, but also an atmosphere in which appreciation and hospitality are valued.

Commitment to the future

The “Lerninsel” project offers health and nursing students the opportunity to gain practical experience in caring for patients. These aspiring specialists take on responsibility in a protected environment and are supported by experienced practical instructors. This initiative is highly valued by the institution as it builds a bridge between theory and practice and strengthens students' skills in real-world nursing, as reported by FH JOANNEUM. The commitment to high-quality education and innovative medical technology demonstrates the hospital's ambitions to not only advance the healthcare sector, but also to promote the future prospects of the next generation.
