This system, and be in a position to continue to be at the forefront of surgical treatment for the next decade.

The Da Vinci surgical robot is the most sophisticated and innovative minimally invasive surgical technique available today; a treatment that offers results equal to or better than conventional surgery, with the added benefits of a minimally invasive procedure.

Samadi-HOMS-Robotic Institute

The Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago (HOMS) is home to the SAMADI-HOMS-ROBOTIC INSTITUTE, which has a robotic surgery program with special application in prostate cancer, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery performed with the da Vinci® surgical system.

Coordinated by


Dr. David B. Samadi


urologist oncologist and expert in robotic surgery for the treatment of prostate cancer. He has performed more than 5,200 robotic laparoscopic surgeries on patients with prostate, bladder and kidney cancers and is recognized as one of America’s foremost experts in robotic oncology. He developed his own technique for advanced prostate cancer surgery called SMART. He is currently Chairman of Urology and Chief of Robotic Surgery at St. Luke’s Hospital. Francis Hospital.

Prostate Cancer and SMART surgery

Prostate cancer is a disease in which malignant cells (cancer) form in the tissues of the prostate, the gland in the male reproductive system located below the bladder and in front of the rectum.

There are no observable symptoms of prostate cancer while in the early stages. In more advanced stages, symptoms include:

Among the risk factors related to prostate cancer are:

To treat this disease, Dr. David Samadi has developed the SMART technique, Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique, which reduces surgical time to less than two hours and hospital stay recovery to less than 24 hours.

This procedure employs the latest advances in automation and computerized technology to remove the prostate affected by the tumor, through which it is possible to have a 3D view of the surgical field with the Insite Vision system, resulting in a great advantage over traditional surgery.
