Agilis Robotics completes first robot-assisted en-bloc bladder-tumour resection
Agilis Robotics completed the first robot-assisted en-bloc resection of a bladder tumour in an ongoing clinical trial.
Evidence notes
- The procedure took place on 10 December 2024 at a Hong Kong hospital.
- A urology team used the company's fully flexible dual-arm endoscopic system through the urethra without an external incision.
- The system enabled one-piece removal intended to preserve the specimen for pathological analysis and reduce tumour-cell reimplantation risk.
Company context
Agilis Robotics develops miniature flexible robotic instruments for endoluminal surgery. The platform is designed to navigate natural anatomical pathways and give surgeons dexterous control in procedures where conventional rigid instruments have limited reach.
