Robotic Surgery Growth in Dubai Hospitals

Robotic‑assisted surgery is increasingly becoming a standard part of Dubai’s modern healthcare landscape. One hospital, Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai (CMC Dubai), recently announced that it has completed 825 robotic procedures across a range of specialties –including general surgery, gynecology, urology, bariatric surgery and orthopaedics – using the da Vinci system.This shows that robotics is not confined to a niche department but spreading across diverse medical fields in Dubai hospitals.

Between 2024 and 2025, more hospitals in Dubai have publicly expanded their robotic‑surgery programmes – underlining a broader institutional adoption, not just isolated cases. For example, Dubai Hospital (part of the public Dubai Health system) announced in October 2025 that since the launch of its robotic‑surgery programme (started in 2022) it had performed over 145 successful robotic surgeries. These moves reflect growing infrastructure and training investments; hospitals are adopting robotic platforms and preparing surgical staff for complex, high‑precision procedures.

Early patient‑outcome data from these robotic surgeries in Dubai suggest real clinical benefits compared with conventional surgery. According to Dubai Hospital, robotic procedures have led to over 90% reduction in blood loss, shorter recovery times, and substantially reduced hospital stays – from weeks to often fewer than three days. Similarly, CMC Dubai reports that many patients go home within 24-48 hours after surgery thanks to smaller incisions, reduced post‑operative pain, and faster recovery. These improvements make robotic-assisted surgery a compelling choice for both local and medical‑tourism patients.

The rapid increase in robotic procedures – from hundreds to over a thousand in just a few years at leading hospitals – points toward a larger trend: Dubai appears to be positioning itself as a regional hub for advanced, tech‑enabled surgery. CMC Dubai’s milestone and Dubai Hospital’s expanding programme suggest strong institutional commitment and capacity build‑out. As more hospitals adopt robotic systems and surgeons become trained, it’s likely that robotic surgery will become more accessible and widespread. Over time, this could make Dubai a preferred destination for patients seeking high-quality, minimally invasive procedures.
