The Finochietto Sanatorium reaffirmed its commitment to medical innovation and the training of health professionals by receiving the prestigious Spanish chest surgeon Diego González Rivasworld reference in minimally invasive surgical techniques. During his visit, the specialist made a MASTERCLASS OF UNIPORTAL VATS/RATS THIRTY SURGERYin which he presented the latest advances in surgery assisted by Robot and carried out live interventions using the DA VINCI XI system.
The day brought together more than 50 doctors in the Sanatorium Auditorium and had the remote participation of specialists from different countries. In addition to live surgeries, dissertations and analysis of clinical cases were carried out, providing a high -level training space for Argentine and foreign surgeons.
A revolution in thoracic surgery
González Rivas is a pioneer in the development of the technique Uniportal Vats (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) and Uniportal Rats (Robot Thoracic Surgery)methods that have transformed thoracic surgery by allowing less invasive interventions.
“Uniportal surgery consists of operating the thorax with a single incision of 3 or 4 centimeters, which significantly reduces pain, the risk of complications and accelerates the recovery of the patient,” said the specialist, who has operated in 138 countries, plus than any other surgeon in the history of medicine.
The RATS Uniportal technique, applied in the interventions carried out in the Finochietto Sanatorium, uses the precision of the Robotic System da Vinci XIwhich offers 3D vision, greater amplification of the surgical field and superior precision in the surgeon movements.
Live surgeries and high -level training
During the Masterclass, González Rivas conducted two surgeries with the Rats Uniportal technique, accompanied by the Thoracic Surgery team of the Sanatorio Finochietto, led by Dr. Héctor Rivero. The interventions were broadcast live and followed in detail by the attendeing doctors, who could see first hand the application of robotics in this type of procedures.
The event also included conferences on the latest advances in minimally invasive thoracic surgery and a debate space where complex clinical cases were analyzed.
A surgeon with global impact
Currently, Dr. González Rivas works in several hospitals around the world, highlighting his work in the Shanghai pulmonary hospitalthe largest pulmonary surgery center in the world, where it directs a training program specialized in uniportal surgery. With more than 1,000 surgeries carried out annually, he dedicates much of his time to train surgeons from different countries in the use of these innovative techniques.
In addition to his work in hospitals, the surgeon created the Diego González Rivas Foundationwith the aim of ensuring that people without resources can access highly complex chest surgeries. “For this we have a surgical mobile unit in Africa, equipped with the latest technology to perform minimally invasive procedures,” he explained.
A milestone for Argentine medicine
The visit of Dr. González Rivas represented an event of great relevance to the country’s medical community. His contribution allowed Update knowledge, share experiences and train Argentine surgeons in the use of robotic technology applied to thoracic surgery.
From the Sanatorium Finochietto, they highlighted the importance of having international referents in their training programs. “It is an invaluable opportunity for our professionals to access avant -garde surgical techniques and continue to develop their expertise in minimally invasive surgery,” they said from the institution.
The advance of robotic surgery and less invasive techniques mark the future of medicine, and the presence of experts such as González Rivas in Argentina is a key step in the modernization of the health system and the improvement in the quality of care for patients .
