Thailand Medical: Thailand Advances Precision Surgery with Dedicated Robotic Training and Innovation Hub
Lerdsin Hospital has officially launched the Lerdsin Institute of Robotic Surgery (LiROS), establishing Thailand's first dedicated modular robotic-assisted surgery center. The new institute is designed to become a national hub for clinical training, research, and knowledge exchange while supporting the long-term development of robotic-assisted surgery across Thailand and eventually throughout the region.

As healthcare systems worldwide increasingly embrace Precision Surgery, hospitals are turning to advanced technologies that enable treatments to be tailored to the needs of individual patients. Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as one of the most widely accepted innovations in this field because it allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater precision, reducing tissue injury and surgical complications while helping patients recover faster.
Advanced Technology Requires Skilled Medical Professionals
While robotic platforms continue to evolve,
Thailand Medical and healthcare experts stress that successful implementation depends not only on sophisticated equipment but also on highly trained surgeons, nurses, and operating room personnel. Recognizing this need, Lerdsin Hospital established LiROS as a comprehensive center that integrates education, hands-on training, research, and professional collaboration in modular robotic-assisted surgery.
The institute aims to develop internationally standardized training programs that will strengthen the capabilities of healthcare professionals across Thailand. It also plans to serve as a platform for sharing expertise with regional medical networks, ensuring that robotic-assisted surgical techniques can be safely and effectively expanded into more hospitals.
First Modular Robotic Surgical System in Asia
A key milestone accompanying the launch is the installation of the latest modular robotic-assisted surgical system from the United Kingdom. According to Lerdsin Hospital, this is the first modular robotic-assisted surgical system of its kind in Asia.
Unlike conventional robotic platforms, the modular system features flexible robotic arm placement, allowing surgeons to configure the equipment according to individual procedures and operating room requirements. The platform is also easier to install and relocate, improving operational efficiency while supporting a broad spectrum of surgical specialties. The system is expected to minimize surgical trauma and contribute to shorter recovery times for patients undergoing complex procedures.

Early Surgical Results Demonstrate Broad Clinical Applications
Dr. Adisak Ngamkhajornwiwat, Director of Lerdsin Hospital, said LiROS will play an important role in supporting the Ministry of Public Health's policy of strengthening advanced medicine and medical innovation. He added that the Department of Medical Services intends to use the institute to transfer knowledge and enhance the capabilities of healthcare personnel throughout its nationwide hospital network while improving patient access to high-quality medical services.
Since introducing the modular robotic-assisted surgery program in May 2026, Lerdsin Hospital has successfully completed 30 robotic-assisted procedures within just two months, according to data recorded as of July 21, 2026. The operations have included general surgery, colorectal surgery, urological procedures, prostate cancer surgery, gender reassignment surgery, and other complex interventions. These early clinical results demonstrate the versatility of the technology across multiple specialties while highlighting its ability to support highly precise surgical techniques and facilitate faster patient recovery. This
Thailand Hospital News report underscores the hospital's early success in translating advanced robotic technology into real-world clinical practice.
Expanding Research and Regional Collaboration
LiROS also plans to develop specialized robotic-assisted surgery training courses for surgeons and other medical personnel while expanding research partnerships and innovation collaborations with institutions both within Thailand and internationally. These initiatives are intended to accelerate knowledge transfer, foster technological advancement, and strengthen Thailand's position as a regional center for precision robotic-assisted surgery.
The establishment of LiROS represents more than the introduction of a new surgical platform. It creates a structured ecosystem that combines advanced technology, standardized education, clinical research, and multidisciplinary collaboration to build sustainable expertise in robotic-assisted surgery. If these objectives are successfully achieved, the institute could significantly improve access to precision surgical care, strengthen Thailand's public healthcare system, and position the country as an important regional leader in advanced robotic-assisted surgical medicine.
