“Robotic surgery is not just a trend but a fundamental shift in operative medicine. Embracing its potential now means not only expanding our own surgical capabilities but also actively shaping the future of the field. We are convinced that the next generation of surgeons will not ask if they should learn robotics — they will ask when.” Prof. S. Breitenstein, CMO & Head of Visceral and Thoracic Surgery, Kantonsspital Winterthur. Read the latest SWISS KNIFE article to explore how a competency-based training approach can make robotic surgery accessible, efficient, and sustainable. Featuring insights from Prof. Stefan Breitenstein (Kantonsspital Winterthur), Dr. Lukas Gantner, MD (Klinik Hirslanden AG, Chirurgisches Zentrum Zürich), and Dr. Nico Seeger (Kantonsspital Winterthur), it’s a practical roadmap for teams looking to build a robotic program that scales. 🔗 go.distalmotion.com/Swisskni… #Distalmotion #Dexter #RoboticSurgery #CompetencyBasedTraining #SurgicalInnovation #EmpoweringAccess

The role of robotic surgery in modern hernia repair – from inpatient to outpatient settings. At this year’s Swiss Hernia Days, two surgeons shared what robotic surgery means in their daily practice. Dr. Natalie Kuchen (Specialized Surgery Zurich, @hirslanden Zürich) presented the hospital’s growing robotic experience in ventral hernia repair, as well as in other indications such as colorectal surgery, fundoplication, and gastric bypass. Dr. Michaela Ehrler (VISCERA Clinic) highlighted the advantages of ambulatory robotics – fast setup, ergonomic benefits, and solo surgery possibilities that enable robotic procedures in outpatient settings. Together, their experience underlines a clear message: The DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System enables broad access to robotics in general surgery. A big thank you to PD Dr. Henry Hoffmann and the organizing committee of the Swiss Hernia Days for creating an inspiring platform for surgical exchange and innovation. #SwissHerniaDays #DEXTER #EmpoweringAccess #RoboticSurgery #OutpatientSurgery #HerniaRepair

Engaging discussions and clinical insights at the ESGE 34th Annual Congress in Istanbul! 👏 A big thank you to Dr. Ilaria Soave, @inselgruppe, University Hospital of Bern, for presenting her experience with DEXTER®: “Multinational Evaluation of Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy with Adnexal Surgery using the DEXTER System.” The presentation also built on the findings of the HYPER prospective multicenter study, recently published in the Journal of Robotic Surgery, which provided the foundation for the US 510(k) clearance for robotic hysterectomy using DEXTER. Key study findings: ✅ 100% successful procedure completion – no conversions to open/laparoscopic surgery or intraoperative complications ✅ Minimally invasive setup – three-port technique enables minimal scarring for improved cosmesis ✅ Efficient workflow – mean docking time <4 minutes ✅ Outpatient surgery feasible – the data highlights potential for same-day discharge For more insights into how DEXTER is being integrated into daily gynecologic practice, explore our latest Society of European Robotic Gynaecological Surgery (SERGS) webinar here: 🔗 go.distalmotion.com/l/106739… #Distalmotion #DEXTER #RoboticSurgery #Gynecology #Hysterectomy #ClinicalEvidence #ESGE2025

📢 We’re proud to share that the DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System has received FDA 510(k) clearance for cholecystectomy in the United States— our second US indication, following De Novo clearance for inguinal hernia repair in Q4 2024. With nearly 1 million cholecystectomies performed annually—most in outpatient settings— this milestone advances our mission to empower access to robotic surgery. As more soft tissue procedures shift to outpatient settings, demand is rising for robotic solutions that deliver precision, dexterity, and surgeon ergonomics without compromising on efficiency, cost, or workflow. DEXTER is purpose-built for this environment, with a small, mobile footprint that integrates seamlessly into existing ORs to simplify operations and support high-volume care. “With indications for inguinal hernia repair and now cholecystectomy, we’re meaningfully building the reach of DEXTER in the US so that more surgical teams and patients will benefit from robotic surgery,” said Greg Roche, CEO of Distalmotion. “Our mission remains focused on empowering access to robotics—with the right robot for the right site of care.” 📰 Full press release: distalmotion.com/news/distal… The DEXTER Robotic Surgery System is currently authorized for use in adult inguinal hernia repair and cholecystectomy in the United States. #FDA #RoboticSurgery #DEXTER #Distalmotion #EmpoweringAccess #RightRobotRightSite

At the Swiss College of Surgeons Annual Meeting 2025 in Lausanne, leading surgeons and institutions joined our symposium to discuss their experience with DEXTER® at the Hirslanden OPERA outpatient clinic. Dr. Michaela Ehrler, a general surgeon from VISCERA Bauchmedizin Bern, shared the following turnover and efficiency insights from her robotic inguinal hernia repairs with DEXTER: - Up to 4 inguinal hernia repairs per day - <4 minutes setup time per case - 6-12 minute turnover time between patients - 100% same day discharge rate Thanks also to moderator Dr. Lukas Gantner (Attending surgeon at Hirslanden Zürich), and to Prof. Stefan Breitenstein (CMO and Head of General and Thoracic Surgery at Kantonsspital Winterthur), Prof. Marc-Olivier Sauvain (Head of Surgical Department Réseau hospitalier neuchâtelois), Dr. Danny Mann (Anesthesiologist at Hirslanden OPERA Bern), and Dr. Thomas Bührer (COO Region Mittelland Hirslanden Schweiz, Director Hirslanden Bern) who added commentary on why the future of surgery is robotics and why DEXTER is the right robot to simplify operations in their outpatient clinic.
