Recently, Edge^®'s global clinical surgical case volume officially surpassed 20,000 cases! This milestone was jointly achieved by surgical teams across three core departments at Peking University People's Hospital — with both Edge^®'s multi-port and single-port surgical robot platforms successfully powering five parallel robot-assisted procedures in urology, hepatobiliary surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery within a single day. This was not only a test of surgeons' operational proficiency but also a concentrated demonstration of the robot system's comprehensive capabilities in multi-department coordination, instrument supply, technical support, and nursing collaboration — showcasing a transformative leap for domestic surgical robots from a "new tool" to a "standard of care in every operating room."

Multi-Port + Single-Port Dual-Platform in Sync

Routine Adoption Across All Hospital Departments

The milestone commemorative ceremony was hosted by Prof. Li Zhao, Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at Peking University People's Hospital. Prof. Gao Jie, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Prof. Shen Zhanlong from Gastrointestinal Surgery, Prof. Xu Tao, Director of Urology, and Head Nurse Li Xuejing from the Operating Room shared their hands-on experience with Edge^®'s domestic robots from the perspectives of discipline development, clinical efficiency, patient needs, and nursing coordination.

Peking University People's Hospital previously had a total robotic surgical volume of just over 900 cases. Since introducing Edge^®'s multi-port and single-port robots in December 2025, the hospital has completed nearly 200 procedures across its three core departments — urology, hepatobiliary, and gastrointestinal — in just five months. The proportion of patients proactively asking for and choosing robotic surgery has increased significantly, with some departments now experiencing waiting lists. In the Department of Urology, robotic surgery has covered all subspecialty groups, with all senior attending physicians and some associate senior physicians now able to operate independently.

This century-old medical institution, through the mature application of a "multi-port + single-port" dual-platform approach, has demonstrated through practice speed and breadth that domestic robots have already transformed from a "new tool" into an indispensable force for high-level hospitals — and this is one reflection of Edge^®'s global surgical case volume surpassing the 20,000-case milestone.

Leading from the Front, Validated by Benchmark Hospitals

Per-Unit Performance Continues to Climb

Domestically, the 20,000 cases are built on the sustained leadership of leading hospitals and regional anchors.

Among China's Top 100 hospitals and regional leading hospitals, Edge^®'s surgical robot has earned the trust of physicians and patients alike through a continuously growing case volume: since commercial installation, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University has completed over 1,600 procedures — maintaining a leading domestic endoscopic robotic single-center case volume; Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Peking University Third Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University have each accumulated nearly 500 procedures... Edge^®'s surgical robot is becoming a trusted "daily force" in the operating rooms of China's top hospitals, propelled by a consistently rising surgical case volume.

This rapid growth in case volume is no accident. Edge^®'s professional clinical support team has been with hospital surgical teams every step of the way, helping them rapidly adapt to domestic equipment and continuously shortening the robotic surgery learning curve. An increasing number of hospitals have demonstrated the trend of "high volume from day one of installation": several hospitals now average over 30 procedures per month, and Edge^®'s per-unit performance is steadily rising. This means domestic equipment can not only "be installed" — it can "be used well, and used extensively."

From China to the World

An Increasingly Dense Global Surgical Network

Globally, the 20,000 cases are woven into an increasingly dense, multi-flourishing global surgical network.

In Europe, after multiple hospitals in Poland introduced Edge^®'s robots, surgical volume has continued to grow steadily. Szpital Specjalistyczny Pro-Familia, a renowned private medical institution in southeastern Poland and a multiple award winner, has completed over 200 procedures since installation. The Polish Ministry of Interior's National Medical Research Institute, when interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, stated that performing more precise and safer surgeries for patients using surgical robots from China is gradually becoming the norm for surgeons.

In South Asia, SIUT, a globally renowned charitable medical institution in Pakistan, has completed over 470 procedures since installation — averaging over 30 per month. Here, advanced robotic surgery is benefiting ordinary people completely free of charge.

In Latin America, the first Edge^® robot in southeastern Brazil, installed at Hospital Orizonti, successfully completed nearly 60 procedures within just two months. Additionally, it has enabled a series of breakthrough procedures including the first telesurgery in the Americas in cardiac surgery, and the first bariatric and gynecological telesurgery in Latin America.

In North Africa, Morocco's top medical group Oncorad introduced Edge^®'s robot and completed the first batch of robotic surgeries in the northern region of the country. The dual-console system simultaneously launched a new "operate-and-teach" model, opening a new pathway for training African surgeons in robotic surgery.

This increasingly dense global surgical network is bearing witness to every practice where domestic surgical robots are crossing borders and integrating into global healthcare systems.

Key Support

A Complete Product Portfolio and a Robust Technical Foundation

20,000 cases means that as more hospitals, more procedure types, and more regions join the ecosystem, surgical robots have gradually become a routine option at every surgeon's side. Underpinning this milestone is Edge^®'s increasingly complete product portfolio and robust technical foundation.

In March 2026, Edge^®'s integrated surgical robot platform — combining "multi-port + single-port + telesurgery" — received NMPA approval for market launch. This is the world's first "three-in-one" platform in an integrated form, giving surgical robots cross-procedure and cross-scenario systemic capabilities.

In the same month, Edge^®'s single-port laparoscopic surgical robot received expanded indications — further extending into thoracic surgery, making it the first single-port surgical robot in China to achieve comprehensive coverage across all four core surgical disciplines: gynecology, urology, general surgery, and thoracic surgery. Its cumulative surgical case volume has now surpassed 3,000 cases.

In April 2026, Edge^®'s multi-port robot added multiple new instruments approved by the NMPA, greatly enriching the "arsenal" of tools available to surgeons for more comprehensive and flexible execution of complex multi-specialty, multi-procedure demands. Currently, Edge^®'s multi-port robot has surpassed 17,000 cumulative procedures, with clinical applications spanning over 300 hospitals domestically and internationally.

In the telesurgery domain, the independently developed second-generation EdgeCloud® telesurgery system TS02, with its higher integration and human-centered design, is propelling telesurgery to a whole new level.

From multi-port to single-port, from local to remote — Edge Medical has built a complete ecosystem foundation for domestic surgical robots, serving as the key support behind every precise procedure across different procedure types, difficulty levels, and clinical scenarios that make up the 20,000-case milestone.

Closing

From China to the world, from "new tool" to "standard of care in every operating room" — 20,000 cases is the answer that Edge Medical, together with experts at home and abroad, has written for the era of domestic surgical robots, completing a substantive leap from "scale of application" to "platform + globalization."

Making surgical robots a standard of care in every operating room — this is the mission with which we set out.

The next stop is already in sight.
