World's First Snake-Arm Robotic vNOTES Sacrocolpopexy Showcases Breakthrough in Ultra-Minimally Invasive Gynecology

 

On May 9, during a live broadcast to 45,000 viewers at the inaugural Summit on Gynecologic Minimally Invasive Surgery and AI, Prof. Xiaoming Guan and Prof. Chunhua Zhang completed the world’s first vNOTES sacrocolpopexy assisted by the SHURUI® single-port robotic system.

 

This landmark procedure was performed entirely through the vaginal natural orifice, with no external incisions. Leveraging the robot’s snake-like instruments and 3D vision, the team achieved precise anatomical exposure and secure ligament suturing—enabling the patient to ambulate in 6 hours and be discharged in 3 days.

 

vNOTES is often limited by risk, precision demands, and significant technical complexity. The SHURUI® system overcomes these hurdles, offering unparalleled flexibility and accessibility—bringing gold-standard pelvic reconstructive surgery within reach for more surgeons and patients.

 

As SHURUI® system extends to general and thoracic surgery, it continues to redefine the boundaries of ultra-minimally invasive care in China and beyond.

 

Important Notes

The SHURUI Single-port Endoscopic Surgical System (SR-ENS-600), developed and produced by Beijing Surgerii Robotics Company Limited, has obtained the CE marking for urologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopic surgical procedures. It is intended for use by trained surgeons in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the User Manual.
