CMR Surgical

Congratulations to Mark Slack, our co-founder, for receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Society of Urogynaecology - BSUG This award is given to people who have made a significant international contribution to Urogynaecology. It recognises the scientific achievement over many years of teaching, research and innovation. Well done, Mark! #SurgicalInnovation #Award #TransformingSurgery

We're so proud of Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust - a great achievement! Well done to everyone involved, we appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making this happen!

What an amazing event! Thank you to Paul I. Stanciu and everyone involved to deliver such a fantastic congress. Pushing surgical boundaries and building professional relationships - we are #TransformingSurgery for good

On 27 November CMR Surgical (CMR) was invited to participate in “Belgian Robot Night” located in Gent, Belgium, an event organised by the Robotic Surgery Working Group (RSWG). The Belgian Robot Night was an event to showcase the latest developments in surgical robotic systems and demonstrate the innovative thinking for the future of robotic surgery. The RSWG was founded as part of the Royal Belgian Society of Surgery (RBSS). Their main purpose is to promote robotic surgery in Belgium and develop accessible surgical robotic training for Belgium’s surgeons. The event featured a lecture highlighting the work of RWSG and the current state of robotic surgery in Belgium. After the lecture, guests were able to explore different booths including one for Versius. This was an insightful and valuable event that a prominent group of Belgium robotic surgeons attended. A massive thank you to Luc Smoorenburg, Cristian Tomè, Claudia Ferreira and Marian Popa for representing CMR at this event. #SurgicalRobotics #RBSS #TransformingSurgery #Versius #Belgium

Last month CMR Surgical took part in the 34th Hellenic Surgical Congress in Athens. The satellite session “The Versius Experience” brought together surgeons and clinical leaders, committed to advancing minimally invasive surgery. A big thank you to Dr Atanu and Dr Evangelos for doing such a great job. Dr. Atanu Pal shared the UK experience in complex colorectal robotic surgery Dr. Evangelos Kanavos discussed the first year of #Versius in Greece. Prof. Mark Slack, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of CMR, also met with the attendees and shared in CMR's success in this space. Thank you Medicare Hellas SA for the partnership and strong presence at this year’s Congress.

CMR Surgical at Laparosurg 2025 We were delighted to be part of Laparosurg 2025 in Coimbatore, India. A premier meeting organised by the renowned GEM Hospital, a leading institution in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery. Over the three days, the Versius team had the opportunity to engage with surgeons through: 1) A hands-on robotic workshop 2) Demonstrations of the Versius Surgical System 3) Interactive sessions with the Versius Trainer & VR platform The event saw excellent participation, meaningful discussions, and strong interest in soft-tissue robotics. A big thank you to Dr C Palanivelu, Dr R Parthasarathi, Dr Harish Kakkilaya, GEM Hospital and the organising committee for a well-curated and impactful academic program. #Versius #minimallyinvasivesurgery #TransformingSurgery #laparosurg2025

An interesting read from a recent publication detailing a novel surgical technique developed with #Versius for managing an ectopic pelvic kidney complication. Using Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyelolithotomy performed alongside Buccal Mucosal Graft (BMG) augmentation Pyeloplasty. This represents the first documented case utilising this combination, demonstrating safety and efficacy in addressing complex anatomical challenges. This work underscores the potential of robotic surgery to expand the boundaries of reconstructive urology and improve patient outcomes in rare and challenging scenarios. 📄 Read the full article below #RoboticSurgery #Urology #MedicalInnovation #MinimallyInvasive #ClinicalResearch

Last Friday our team in Italy finished a workshop held in San Donato Hospital Training Centre in Milano. The workshop was lead by Prof. Rosso on synthetic models for thoracic surgery. This course was part of the "ESTS - Italian Chapter" the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons. The international student participants had hands-on sessions and dissection techniques taught by Prof. Lorenzo Rosso, who's a leading #Versius user for Thoracic surgery in Policlinico di Milano.    #TransformingSurgery #Italy #Hospital #roboticsurgery

At the beginning of this year, CMR Surgical (CMR) began working closely with MBA SURGICAL EMPOWERMENT our primary distributor in Spain and Portugal. We are proud to announce that on 11th November 2025 an important milestone was reached – over 500 procedures completed at the Ramon y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid. Since #Versius was introduced, procedures have included thoracic surgery, general surgery, urology and gynaecology. The 500th procedure was a tubular gastrectomy; performed in less than two hours by Marta Cuadrado Ayuso and Julio Galindo. Right after this surgery, Marta and Julio went on to use Versius to perform a cholecystectomy. Congratulations to the amazing team at the Ramon y Cajal University Hospital – great work.

We are delighted to end our congress activities supporting #CRSA2025, taking place from 20 to 22 November. This important education meeting brings together world renowned medical professionals to discuss and share insights on the future of robotics. Come and try #Versius, the adaptable, versatile, digitally driven surgical robot. Have hands-on demonstrations and meet the CMR Team including our Chief Engineer, Patrick Thornycroft and Chief Technology Officer, Chris Fryer. #TransformingSurgery #CRSA
