Introducing the surgical robot that adapts to you
Your practice, your robot, your choice: meet Versius, the surgical robot designed for you…
With its novel design, Versius has empowered surgeons across multiple specialties to provide state-of-the-art care to over 30,000 patients in more than 30 countries. Created by CMR Surgical, based in Cambridge UK, this innovative system has grown to be the second most utilised soft tissue surgical robot in the world. Versius is being used across a broad range of specialties including Urology, General Surgery, Gynaecology, and Thoracic surgery. Ongoing clinical trials in Paediatric surgery and Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) are paving the way for expanded indications. Designed with surgeons, surgical teams and hospitals in mind, this digitally driven robot provides surgeons with the latest technology while still enabling surgical teams access to provide care at the patient side.
The versatility of this novel system, through
both design and available technology, allows surgeons to perform highly complex cases such as lower anterior resections, as well as simpler cases with precision and efficiency. With the integrated fluorescence visualisation system vLimeLite, this robot is the first CE marked surgical robot on the market to offer an integrated ICG system with multiple viewing modes, including an overlay mode, and colour displays to visualise ICG, enhancing visualisation during surgery. The Ultrasonic Dissector, the first in the
range of advanced energy instruments for this robot, provides surgeons with an advanced, multi-functional instrument to drive efficiencies throughout procedures. By offering a broad range of instruments from standard through to

advanced technology, this robotic system offers surgeons a full suite of instruments to enhance their surgical practice. Mr Paul Stanciu, Consultant Gynaecological Oncology Surgeon within the UK, describes how he uses Versius in complex gynaecological procedures: “The Versius robotic system has transformed my approach to complex procedures by offering unmatched precision, flexibility, and control. Its modular design and advanced ergonomics allow me to perform challenging cancer surgeries with greater accuracy and less fatigue, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and recovery. It’s a game- changer in minimally invasive surgery.” With a focus on modularity, the robot is
able to adapt to each hospital’s needs. The adaptability of the system allows laparoscopic surgeons to build on their existing experience. Through utilising traditional port placements, the robot seamlessly integrates into existing workflows. This unlocks shorter learning curves across all specialties as surgeons aren’t required to rewrite their existing knowledge. By adapting to the surgeon, the robot inspires surgeons to choose what is best for their practice and their patient, rather than having to adapt their surgery to the robot design. The compact design of this inventive robot
ensures that no dedicated operating room is required. By moving between departments, the system is able to open robotic surgery access to patients across multiple specialties within the hospital, regardless of the location of the department within the hospital. Dr. Angelo Stuto, Chief of the Coloproctology Department at the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato Hospital in Italy, has shared his experience of how Versius works for his team and his practice: “We have been using Versius for six
