Recent Developments

• In September 2025, Beijing Surgerii Robotics Company made history as its SHURUI Single-Port Surgical Robot with snake-like instruments received its CE certification. The SHURUI Endoscopic Surgical System is intended to assist in the accurate control of the SHURUI instruments during urologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, and thoracoscopic surgical procedures, for both adult and pediatric patients.

• In November 2024, the Toumai Laparoscopic Surgical Robot System, developed by MicroPort MedBot, successfully performed a combined adrenal tumor and gallbladder removal surgery in Italy. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone in Toumai’s expansion into the European The operation involved the precise dissection of the adrenal gland and tumor, clamping the inferior adrenal artery and central vein, and the successful removal of both the adrenal gland and gallbladder. The master-slave robotic operation lasted 100 minutes with minimal blood loss. Postoperatively, the patient remained stable, with no complications reported.

• In February 2024, CMR Surgical announced that Norra Älvsborgs Sjukhus (NÄL), a public hospital and part of NU-hospital group, had become the first hospital in Sweden and the Nordics to conduct robotic-assisted surgery cases with Versius. Versius is the only small and modular surgical robotic system on the market, which makes it easy to adopt for surgeons and hospitals. By being small and modular, it can fit into virtually any operating room without the need to alter existing infrastructure.
