Statistical analysis of da Vinci procedure volumes of 2021 in mainland China

Abstract

Objective: To calculate the number of da Vinci surgical procedures in mainland China in 2021. Methods: Based on the statistics on the number of da Vinci surgery of 2021 in mainland China, we analyzed the surgical volumes according to the classification of hospital, single robotic surgical system, specialty, and surgical team. Results: The number of installed da Vinci surgical system in mainland China 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. Conclusion: A high volume of da Vinci surgical procedures were performed in mainland China in 2021 with an estimated growth rate.
