- Advanced AI-Driven Medical Navigation System Sets New Standard for Surgical Excellence in the UAE.
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Yas Clinic – Khalifa City and Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center, one of the UAE’s premier medical centers, has announced the launch of its advanced robotic spine surgery program, powered by an intelligent AI-driven medical navigation system. This groundbreaking development represents a transformative leap in precision medicine and patient care.
The announcement follows the successful completion of two complex spinal surgeries on patients in their fifties and sixties who were suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis and disc herniation. These conditions were causing nerve compression, leg pain, and difficulty walking for extended periods. Both procedures were performed using cutting-edge robotic technology that combines robotic precision with three-dimensional navigation capabilities. This innovative approach has elevated surgical accuracy beyond human limitations, offering patients safer, faster, and more effective procedures.
Dr. Maysoon Al Karam, Chief Medical Officer at Yas Clinic – Khalifa City, stated:
“Robotic surgery is no longer the future of medicine – it’s our advanced reality today. This technology allows us to achieve unprecedented levels of precision while reducing risks and improving patient outcomes, even in the most complex cases.”
The system enables surgeons to control the robot through an intelligent console, while the medical navigation system provides precise guidance for surgical instruments within the patient’s body. This ensures minimal invasive intervention, reduced complications, and accelerated recovery times.
Professor Amr El-Shawarbi, Consultant Neurosurgeon specializing in robotic surgery, commented:
“We’re witnessing a significant rise in brain and spine surgery. The exceptional precision this system provides gives our patients higher chances of recovery with greater safety.”
The launch of these surgical procedures is part of Yas Clinic’s comprehensive vision to integrate the latest medical technologies into its advanced services, spanning neurosurgery, orthopedics, and general surgery. The medical team has undergone intensive international training to ensure the application of the highest global standards.
Initial surgical results have demonstrated:
- Remarkable improvement in surgical intervention accuracy
- Reduced hospital stay duration
- Decreased pain levels and scarring
- Accelerated patients return to normal lifestyle
The hospital plans to expand the program to include additional specialties in the coming period, while continuing to invest in medical staff training and embracing innovation at every step. Through this initiative, Yas Clinic solidifies its position as a leading medical destination for advanced surgery in Abu Dhabi and the region.
