𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆: 𝟭𝟬 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟭 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮

On 25 February 2026, at 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮, the Gynecology and Urology teams reached a clear operational milestone in da Vinci™ robotic-assisted surgery: ten robotic procedures completed in a single day.

This level of performance was delivered using three da Vinci X Systems, all owned by the hospital. It signals more than clinical performance. It signals local capacity and program maturity, because high throughput in robotic surgery is never “just volume.” It is the outcome of planning, discipline, and a team operating with shared standards.

In many markets, progress in robotic surgery is still measured in “firsts”: the first system, the first case, the first specialty. Those moments matter. But once the novelty fades, the real question becomes different: can the program scale without losing what made it safe and successful in the first place?

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲. 𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺.

A day like this requires alignment across scheduling, operating room logistics, team readiness, and clinical workflows, especially when multiple specialties share the platform. The mix achieved in Pleven, nine gynecology cases and one urology case, delivered across three systems, shows a program that is moving beyond isolated success and into repeatable performance.

From SOFMEDICA’s perspective, milestones like this matter because they demonstrate what sustainable robotic surgery looks like in practice: coordination across teams, standardized processes that make outcomes repeatable, institutional ownership through people and operating model (not only technology), and cross-specialty momentum where robotic surgery becomes a platform for growth, not a silo.

This is how robotic surgery evolves, through programs that can deliver quality at scale, consistently, across specialties, and over time.

This February brings an important milestone in Bulgarian urology, as Prof. Deyan Anakievski and his team at Heart and Brain Hospital reach 1,500 successful robotic-assisted urological procedures.
Prof. Anakievski is widely recognized as one of Bulgaria’s leading urology specialists, known for his clinical excellence and surgical precision. For more than five years, he has been advancing minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery using the da Vinci robotic platform, helping transform patient care standards in the region.

The achievement of 1,500 successful urological cases it reflects years of dedication, continuous learning, and trust built between surgeons, institutions, and patients.

By embracing the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery and continuously refining clinical expertise, Prof. Anakievski and his team demonstrate what is possible when innovation meets commitment to patient care.

Every successful procedure represents a patient whose recovery was faster, whose complications were minimized, and whose quality of life improved. And every milestone contributes to a more efficient and future-ready healthcare system.

At SOFMEDICA, we are proud to support clinicians who continuously push the boundaries of what modern medicine can achieve.

Congratulations to Prof. Anakievski and the entire Heart and Brain Hospital team for this outstanding milestone and for their continued dedication to innovation and high-quality patient care.

Τρεις επεμβάσεις. Μία ημέρα. Τρεις ζωές που άλλαξαν.
Το Αρεταίειο Νοσοκομείο απέδειξε ότι είναι εφικτό ένα δημόσιο νοσοκομείο να υλοποιήσει Πρόγραμμα Χειρουργείων Υψηλής Έντασης (HIT).

Για πρώτη φορά σε κρατικό νοσοκομείο, πραγματοποιήθηκαν επιτυχώς τρεις ρομποτικές επεμβάσεις μέσα στην ίδια ημέρα:
Δύο ρομποτικές ολικές υστερεκτομές

Μία ρομποτική μυομεκτομή
Τρεις ασθενείς απέκτησαν ταχύτερη ανάρρωση, μεγαλύτερη ασφάλεια και νέα ποιότητα ζωής. Αυτή είναι η απόδειξη ότι η προηγμένη τεχνολογία προσφέρει στα δημόσια νοσοκομεία ανθρώπινο αντίκτυπο, όχι μόνο καινοτομία.

Αυτό το ορόσημο δείχνει τη δυναμική της ρομποτικής χειρουργικής στο δημόσιο σύστημα υγείας, αλλά και την ισχύ της συνεργασίας.
Οι ομάδες μας είναι αφοσιωμένες στην υποστήριξη των ικανότατων επαγγελματιών υγείας των δημοσίων νοσοκομείων, για το όφελος των ασθενών και τη βιωσιμότητα του συστήματος υγείας.

Βήμα-βήμα, διευρύνουμε την πρόσβαση σε φροντίδα υψηλής ακρίβειας στα δημόσια νοσοκομεία. Συνεχίζουμε να φέρνουμε την καινοτομία σε όλη την περιοχή μας.

Somewhere in Romania today, a surgeon is preparing for tomorrow’s procedure, asking the same timeless questions: 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳? 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴? 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳?

That question - that 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 - is why we do what we do. Because transformation doesn't start with technology. 𝗜𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲. Technology just helps them say “yes.”

For three decades, SOFMEDICA has stood beside Romanian healthcare system, training, supporting, and believing that precision and compassion can go together.

This launch marks more than a technological leap; it’s the next step in a 30-year journey of transforming healthcare across New Europe and a 25-year partnership between SOFMEDICA and Intuitive.
