Robotic surgery makes medical history in Leiden with unique liver transplant
The LUMC was the first in the Netherlands to perform a liver transplant using a living donor and a surgical robot. This breakthrough is a major step forward in robotic surgery and increases the chances for patients to receive a donor liver.
Robotic surgery makes medical history in Leiden
The LUMC is the first hospital in the Netherlands to perform a liver transplant using a living donor and a surgical robot. This medical first marks an important step in the development of minimally invasive transplant surgery and increases the chances for patients waiting for a donor liver.
Innovation at the heart of Leiden Bio Science Park
The operation took place within the unique ecosystem of Leiden Bio Science Park, where the university, hospital and biotech companies collaborate on groundbreaking healthcare innovations. This collaboration accelerates the translation of research into patient care and strengthens Leiden's international position as a centre for life sciences.
