Robot surgery on the NHS

A new surgical era is underway at West Herts bringing huge benefits to patients and staff including a speedier recovery for patients and access to game changing equipment for surgeons and theatre staff.

West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is the first NHS trust in the country to install two Versius robots to assist with surgical operations. Mr Vanash Patel, consultant colorectal surgeon, the driving force and vision behind the robotic programme at West Herts discusses the benefits of robotic surgery in this short video.
