Statistical analysis of da Vinci procedure volumes of 2021 in the Chinese Mainland

Abstract

ObjectiveTo calculate the number of da Vinci surgical procedures in the Chinese mainland in 2021. MethodsBased on the statistics on the number of da Vinci surgery of 2021 in the Chinese mainland, we analyzed the surgical volumes according to the classification of hospital, single robotic surgical system, specialty, and surgical team. ResultsThe number of installed da Vinci surgical system in the Chinese mainland has exceeded 260, and more than 89,000 robotic procedures were performed in 2021, an 87.8% increase compared with that of the previous year. A total of 53 hospitals performed more than 600 da Vinci robotic procedures; 56 robotic systems distributed in 46 hospitals completed more than 600 procedures in 2021; and 64 surgical teams in various specialties completed more than 260 da Vinci surgeries. ConclusionA high volume of da Vinci surgical procedures were performed in the Chinese mainland in 2021 with an estimated growth rate.
