Clinique Urologique Nantes Atlantis chooses versatility
This is the feedback coming from our customers too. On why they chose
Versius, General Manager of the Clinique Urologique Nantes Atlantis,
Camilla Belbeoc’h, stated:
“Flexible and versatile, the Versius robot has the advantage of
combining performance with ease of learning. Versius is also the only
small, modular, and portable surgical robot on the market, which makes
it easier for surgical teams to use and gives them greater 昀氀exibility in
operating theatre scheduling. It also optimises communication between
teams in the operating theatre. All these advantages are bene昀椀cial to
our carers and our patients.”
Versius was installed in the hospital in Nantes, the 6th largest city in
France towards the end of June, with 昀椀rst procedures started in early
September. Since then, the seven surgeons from the clinic, who are also
shareholders – a testament to the value they see in the system – have
carried out over 40 procedures, helping to bring the bene昀椀ts of roboticassisted minimal access surgery (MAS) to patients globally.
This month we celebrated an exciting new partnership with Clinique
Urologique Nantes Atlantis, an internationally renowned institution in
the 昀椀eld of urology, which has chosen the Versius robot to continue and
accelerate its urologic robotic surgery programme.
The private clinic prioritises offering care at the cutting edge of
innovation, through the integration of new technologies that it tests
and validates, supporting a range of urological treatments. After having
a surgical robotics programme for over 10 years, striving for excellence,
Clinique Urologique Nantes Atlantis was looking for a versatile system to
improve internal and external collaboration during complex procedures.
Our open console was the perfect answer, improving communication
between the teams and the visitors or experts.
Since initial implementation our team has received strong positive
feedback. CME Chairman Thierry Rousseau shared: “Initial feedback
from teams and patients alike has been excellent. The system’s
performance, both in terms of ergonomics and analysis of the surgical
procedure, will enable us to successfully pursue our mission of offering
our patients the very best in surgery.”
With every new partnership and installation of Versius, our aim is to
support improved surgical standards, and the delivery of the best
quality surgical care to patients. This is why we are delighted to be
working alongside the highly quali昀椀ed teams at Clinique Urologique
Nantes-Atlantis, and to be able to bring the bene昀椀ts of minimally
invasive surgery to more patients thanks to Versius. Partnering with
such a centre of excellence in Europe and among the leaders in its
discipline in France is an important milestone for us in France, and
we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow their
robotic surgery programme.
