RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a historic achievement, the Organ Transplant Center of Excellence (OTCoE) team at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has successfully performed the world's first fully robotic living donor liver transplant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—a move that solidifies KFSH&RC's position as a global leader in minimally invasive transplant surgery.
KFSH&RC's pioneering approach employed state-of-the-art robotic technology to conduct both donor and recipient surgeries with precision and minimal invasiveness, eliminating the need for a hybrid approach. While other centres offer minimally invasive liver transplants using mixed techniques, KFSH&RC is the only centre to complete a fully robotic living donor liver transplant surgery successfully. This accomplishment represents a significant leap forward in the history of transplantation, a testament to the centre's commitment to advanced practices that enhance healthcare outcomes, improve the patient experience, and boost hospital operational efficiency. It has also led to a reduction in the risk of complications, recovery time, and the length of hospital stays. As a strategic health partner at the Global Health Exhibition held in Riyadh from October 29 to October 31, KFSH&RC is showcasing its latest innovations at the forum. Attendees will gain insights into the OTCoE's expertise in applying cutting-edge technologies to expand healthcare possibilities. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=47363 KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- TDCX, a digital customer experience (CX) solutions provider for technology and blue-chip companies has deepened its presence in Europe via its move to a bigger campus in Romania.
