Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai (CMC Dubai) is making significant strides in surgical excellence through the innovative use of robotic technology across various medical specialties. The center has successfully implemented robotic-assisted surgery in fields such as general surgery, gynecology, urology, bariatric surgery, and more recently, orthopedics, showcasing a comprehensive approach to precision patient care.

With over 825 robotic procedures performed using the advanced da Vinci Surgical System, CMC Dubai has reached a major milestone in enhancing patient care. A celebration to honor this achievement is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at the hospital’s Dubai campus, where hospital leadership, surgeons, and the da Vinci robotic surgical team will be present.

Mark Adams, CEO of Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai, emphasized the hospital’s commitment to innovation, stating, “Dubai is the city of innovation with the vision of the future. It helps the sociality. Every day, there is innovation with new developments—and in CMC, we want to be in front of that.” He noted that since introducing robotic surgery in 2021, CMC has performed 825 robotic surgeries, positioning the center among the most advanced hospitals. Adams further explained that while robotic systems assist surgeons, they do not replace them, enhancing precision in surgical procedures.

Dr. Walid Faraj, a Consultant General Surgeon at CMC Dubai, highlighted the benefits of robotic surgery, describing it as providing unmatched precision and control, which helps reduce complications and promotes faster recovery for patients. He explained that the robotic system enhances surgeons’ capabilities rather than replacing them, allowing for operations in challenging areas that traditional techniques might find risky.

Dr. Abdul Kader Weiss, a Specialist General & Laparoscopic Surgeon at CMC Dubai, added that robotic surgery is currently empowering surgeons to perform safer and more accurate procedures. He noted that what once required large incisions and lengthy hospital stays can now be accomplished through small ports, with the robotic system acting as an extension of the surgeon’s hand. Weiss expressed pride in CMC’s leadership in this transformation, which aligns with the UAE’s ambition to excel in medical innovation.

The integration of robotic-assisted procedures has had a transformative impact on clinical outcomes and patient experiences. These procedures typically involve smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, lower post-operative pain, and significantly shorter hospital stays. Many patients are discharged within 24 to 48 hours, enabling quicker returns to their daily activities with fewer complications.

CMC Dubai was among the first hospitals in the UAE to adopt robotic surgery and continues to set high standards in this field. The center is dedicated to patient safety, outcome-driven care, and continual investment in the latest surgical technologies. Dr. Faraj remarked that their goal is to expand the possibilities of surgical interventions, stating, “With robotic systems, we are performing more complex surgeries with greater confidence and control, while continuously improving patient satisfaction and recovery time.”

Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai, backed by an international legacy of excellence and a strong vision for the future, remains a leader in robotic surgery not only within the UAE but throughout the wider Middle East region.

Clemenceau Medical Center Dubai is part of the Clemenceau Medicine International network and is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine International. The center’s mission is to provide world-class, patient-centered care using state-of-the-art technology and internationally trained physicians, thereby redefining healthcare standards in the region.
