The renowned urologist David Samadi positions Dominican Republic as the leading country in the region for robotic prostate surgery. This Tuesday, in Santo Domingo, the specialist in urological oncology highlighted the sustained progress of local doctors and access to high-level technology that has catapulted the country in this medical field.
Statements from David Samadi on regional leadership
David Samadi, with decades of experience in minimally invasive procedures, stated that Dominican Republic surpasses neighboring countries in volume and quality of robotic prostate surgery. “Thanks to the tireless work of medical teams and investment in surgical robots like da Vinci, the country has become a reference”, explained the expert during his visit.
Advances in robotic prostate surgery technology in the country
The robotic prostate surgery uses robotic systems to remove tumors with millimeter precision, reducing risks and recovery times. In Dominican Republic, centers such as the Cedimat and the Incart have performed thousands of operations since 2015, positioning the territory above Mexico or Colombia in success rates, according to data from regional urological societies.
Benefits for patients and historical context
Patients gain with minimal incisions, less bleeding, and quick return to daily activities. Historically, the country introduced this technology a decade ago, training over 200 urologists. Statistics from the Dominican Society of Urology indicate that 90% of prostate procedures are now robotic, a Latin American record.
- Superior surgical precision compared to traditional methods.
- Reduction of postoperative complications by 40%.
- Access to international training for Dominican specialists.
Expert opinions and future
Other regional urologists agree with David Samadi: the combination of local talent and modern equipment makes Dominican Republic a hub for robotic prostate surgery. Projections point to more equipped centers by 2026, attracting international patients. This leadership strengthens public health and positions the country as an innovator in oncology.
Ultimately, the recognition of David Samadi validates the path taken by Dominican Republic in robotic prostate surgery, a achievement that directly benefits thousands in the fight against prostate cancer.
