Marbella
06/07/2026 a las 11:14h.The surgical teams at Clínica Premium Marbella and the Málaga Urological Institute have successfully completed more than 1,000 robotic urological procedures using the Da Vinci surgical system, marking a historic milestone in Andalucía.
This figure represents the highest number of robotic urological surgeries recorded by a specialised private unit of its kind in the region, reinforcing Marbella’s growing reputation as a hub for advanced private health care.
In this way, Clínica Premium Marbella and the Málaga Urological Institute strengthen their leadership in robotic urological surgery and further establish themselves as a benchmark for private medical care across southern Spain.
According to the clinic, this success has been built on three key foundations: a long-term commitment to increasingly precise, safer and minimally invasive treatment, continued investment in state-of-the-art technology, and the development of a highly specialised surgical unit.
Advanced Technology Focused on Better Patient Outcomes
One of the foundations behind Urovinci’s development is the continuous integration of advanced surgical platforms that support personalised and minimally invasive treatment.
Da Vinci Robotic System: Precision Surgery for Complex Urological Conditions
The Da Vinci robotic system is one of the most advanced surgical technologies currently available.
It is particularly used in procedures such as:
• Robotic prostatectomy (prostate cáncer surgery).
• Cystectomy (bladder cáncer treatment).
• Nephrectomy.
• Pyeloplasty.
Da Vinci robotic surgery provides surgeons with enhanced visualisation and highly precise instrument control.
Potential benefits for patients:
• Smaller incisions.
• Reduced bloodloss.
• Less post-operative discomfort.
• Shorter hospital stay.
• Faster recovery.
• Reduced impact on overall quality of life.
In selected clinical cases, and depending on individual circumstances, this approach may also help preserve functions such as urinary continence and erectile function.
The specialised robotic urology unit is led by Dr Gonzalo Sanz, who was recently recognised by Top Doctors as one of Spain’s 50 leading private healthcare specialists. He is also the only urologist in Andalucía to be included in the ranking.
