Advancing regional collaboration and surgeon training in remote robotic-assisted surgery
SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reach Surgical, the Surgical Solutions division of Genesis MedTech, has facilitated the completion of two robotic telesurgeries using its OMNIBOT robotic-assisted system.
Operating from Reach Surgical Institute (RSI) in Santiago, Dr. Roberto Vilches and Dr. Marcelo Kerkebe remotely performed a radical prostatectomy and a partial nephrectomy on patients at Meds Medical Center. These procedures mark an important milestone in advancing robotic telesurgery across Latin America.
Expanding Access to Telesurgery
OMNIBOT's first telesurgeries demonstrated both precision and performance. The procedures highlight the growing potential of remote robotic-assisted procedures and reinforce Reach Surgical's long-term strategic focus on regional collaboration for telesurgery, developing new approaches to training and building strong partnerships with teaching hospitals.
RSI Training Facility and Collaboration with Hospitals
The RSI training facility in Santiago has developed a comprehensive training program for robotic surgery. This includes:
-Advanced simulation-based training
-Live surgical demonstrations and broadcasts
-Cross-regional telesurgery collaboration
By equipping surgeons with hands-on experience and expert guidance, this initiative is helping accelerate the adoption of robotic-assisted surgery in hospitals.
