On April 18-19, 2026,  the 2026 China Urological Robotics Conference & Innovation Summit on Diagnosis and Treatment of Urological Diseases  was held in Shanghai. As a market leader in single-port surgical robots, Shurui® Robot haswon commercial bids at  nearly 20 hospitals and completed over 4,000 complex surgeries in clinical applications, forming a mature validation paradigm covering multiple disciplines and a wide range of surgical procedures. During this conference, Shurui® Single-port Surgical Robot with Snake-like Instruments stood out through special  academic presentations and live streams of four robotic single-port radical prostatectomies. It fully demonstrated that the system achieves the best of both worlds: the clinical performance comparable to multi-port systems for high-complexity urological surgeries, alongside the ultra-minimally invasive advantages unique to single-port technology.  The successful and stable completion of these four complex surgeries once again demonstrated that the Shurui® single-port robot has become a next-generation robotic surgical platform offering both clinical benefits and patient advantages.

On April 18, during the conference's special presentation session, Professor Xu Kai, founder of Beijing Surgerii Robotics Co., Ltd., delivered a special academic report titled "An Introduction to the SHURUI Single-Port Robot," systematically sharing the original design, core technological breakthroughs, and global clinical application progress of the Single-port Surgical Robot with Snake-like Instruments, showcasing the breakthrough journey of this original Chinese single-port robot technology from clinical validation to global application. From multi-center clinical applications in China to market access in Europe, the Shurui® single-port robot is deeply participating, with original Chinese technology, in the most rigorous surgical robot industry competition in mature advanced markets, carving out broad prospects for the internationalization of original Chinese innovation.

Professor Xu Kai emphasized that the core innovations of the Shurui® single-port robot lie, first, in the single-port snake-like surgical instruments, and second, in the system's four-arm configuration that allows flexible reconfiguration into single-port, multi-port, and hybrid-port operating platforms, breaking through the structural limitations of traditional single-port equipment. This enables surgeons not only to achieve more flexible cannula channel arrangement, instrument configuration, and more stable multi-instrument coordination through a single incision, but also to further integrate multi-modal tools such as straight ultrasonic instruments for more flexible system functionality. With its ultra-wide working range, reverse bending, multi-angle operation, real-time intraoperative lens cleaning, and stable collaborative capabilities, the Shurui® snake-like provides more ample operating space and smoother surgical rhythm for complex urological procedures as well as clinical applications across all disciplines.

In the field of urology, the platform value of the Shurui® single-port robot has already extended from radical prostatectomy to a systematic and complete core procedural system. For high-frequency, high-difficulty procedures such as partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, adrenalectomy, ureteral reimplantation, and bladder-related surgeries, Shurui® has formed a systematic application foundation, advancing single-port robotics from "breakthroughs in key procedures" to "full coverage of upper and lower urinary tract diseases." For hospitals, this means that Shurui® can not only support higher-quality development in urology but also help other departments improve their robotic surgery coverage, create differentiated specialty advantages, and form a single-port robotic platform configuration solution with long-term value.

During this conference, Shurui®'s single-port robot successfully completed live streams of four robotic single-port radical prostatectomies. The lead surgeons were from major domestic urology centers including the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and Shanghai Changhai Hospital. For radical prostatectomy, key steps such as the narrow pelvic space, complex anatomical layers, treatment of the prostatic apex, preservation of the neurovascular bundle, and urethrovesical anastomosis pose extremely high demands on the robotic platform. The four surgeries covered different case difficulties and operating scenarios, fully releasing the innovative value of this disruptive new technology that combines multi-port-level efficacy with single-port ultra-minimally invasive benefits.

This China Urological Robotics Conference sent a clear signal: the Shurui® single-port robot is transitioning from a "specialized technology" to a mature platform choice for complex urological procedures. The live stream of four radical prostatectomies collectively demonstrated the Shurui single-port robot's stable operating capability in the narrow pelvic space, quality of key step completion, and adaptability to complex procedures. It further proved that the single-port approach can achieve multi-port-level surgical efficacy while providing patients with the ultra-minimally invasive benefits of smaller trauma, less pain, and faster recovery. With its mature platform capabilities, Shurui® is driving urology from "single-point breakthroughs" to "systematic coverage," providing important support for hospitals to build distinctive urology specialties, enhance robotic surgery coverage, and form differentiated competitive advantages.

Centered on urology, with coverage extended to all general surgical specialties. Supported by the original Chinese  snake-like Instruments technology at its core, the Shurui® single-port robot is driving a paradigm shift from technological innovation to clinical necessity, and from single-specialty application to hospital-wide platform configuration. As clinical evidence, commercial adoption, and global application continue to accumulate, the Shurui® single-port robot is providing hospitals with a more forward-looking Chinese solution for building next-generation ultra-minimally invasive robotic surgery platforms, while also opening new possibilities for global robotic surgery to transition from the multi-port era to mature single-port applications.
