Agilis Robotics completes world’s first robot-assisted bladder tumour resection in clinical trial

Designed with intuitive controls and advanced robotic capabilities, the system can be adopted easily by both experienced surgeons and trainees. By reducing the learning curve for performing ERBT, it has the potential to make this advanced technique more widely available, improving outcomes for patients around the world.

Pioneering Natural Orifice Surgical Robotics

Founded in 2021, the Hong Kong-based Agilis Robotics specializes in developing innovative surgical robots designed to operate through natural orifices such as the urethra, mouth, or anus, eliminating the need for external incisions to treat early-stage tumours.

The company’s robotic system has reached the critical stages of regulatory applications to the FDA and NMPA. If approved, it is poised to become the first commercially available robotic system for transurethral bladder tumour resection.

With its unique technological advantages and significant market potential, the company has secured more than US$17 million in funding, positioning itself as a leader in natural orifice surgical robotics.

Expanding the Boundaries of Minimally Invasive Surgery

The successful demonstration of robot-assisted ERBT not only provides a breakthrough treatment option for bladder cancer but also opens the door to broader applications of minimally invasive robotic surgery through natural orifices, including procedures for the colon and upper gastrointestinal tract.

Agilis Robotics is committed to advancing medical technology, driving innovation, and delivering impactful solutions that benefit patients worldwide.
