🤖 Introduction of AI-Based Robotic Surgery: “Zamenix” at Goldman Urology Clinic

1. AI-Equipped Flexible Endoscopic Robot

• Utilizes a 2.8–3 mm flexible endoscope inserted through the urethra and ureter to remove kidney stones without any incision.

• The AI system assists in detecting the size of the stone, compensating for breathing motion, evaluating ureter access, and memorizing pathways for re-entry, enhancing precision and safety.

2. Remote Console-Controlled Surgery

• Surgeries are performed via a remote-controlled console, minimizing radiation exposure for the surgeon.

• It allows remote operation from a physically separate station, reducing surgeon fatigue and improving workflow efficiency.

3. Clinical Results & Recognition

• A clinical study with 46 patients undergoing RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) showed:

  • 93.5% stone removal success rate

  • 6.5% minor complication rate

  • Awarded Best Video Paper by the European Association of Urology (EAU).

4. Adoption in Korea and Abroad

• As of early 2024, Zamenix has been adopted by top hospitals in Korea, including Samsung Medical Center, Seoul National University Hospital, and more.

• Successfully used in Indonesia's National Hospital and Thailand’s Ramathibodi Hospital as well.

5. Future Applications

• Zamenix is being expanded for early-stage tumor removal in other organs such as the esophagus, lungs, stomach, and colon via endoscopic surgery.

• Certification processes for these broader uses are currently underway.
