Versius Now in Lebanon – A Major Leap for Healthcare at Hôtel-Dieu de France
Lebanon has entered a new era of medical innovation with the introduction of robotic-assisted surgery at Hôtel-Dieu de France (HDF) in collaboration with Saint Joseph University (USJ). This landmark achievement brings cutting-edge robotic technology to Lebanese patients, making minimally invasive surgery more precise, efficient, and accessible.
HDF has installed the Versius Surgical Robotic System, a state-of-the-art next-generation surgical robot designed to enhance surgeon capabilities and improve patient recovery.

How Robotic Surgery is Transforming Healthcare in Lebanon
The Versius system is revolutionizing the way surgeries are performed, particularly in specialties like colorectal, gynecology, urology, thoracic, and general surgery. Unlike traditional surgery, robotic-assisted procedures allow for:
- Greater surgical precision with high-definition 3D visualization.
- Minimized surgical trauma through smaller incisions and less blood loss.
- Faster patient recovery with reduced post-operative pain.
- Lower risk of complications due to enhanced robotic control.
A New Standard of Surgical Excellence at HDF
By integrating robotic-assisted surgery, HDF and USJ are pioneering surgical innovation in Lebanon, setting new standards for minimally invasive procedures. This advanced technology not only improves patient safety but also ensures that surgeons can perform complex procedures with greater efficiency and accuracy.
With this milestone, Lebanon joins a growing list of countries leveraging robotic surgery to provide world-class medical care. The introduction of the Versius system at HDF highlights the hospital’s commitment to advancing healthcare, improving patient outcomes, and positioning itself as a leader in robotic-assisted surgery in the Middle East.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Robotic Surgery in Lebanon
As the demand for robotic surgery continues to rise, Hôtel-Dieu de France and USJ are paving the way for a new generation of medical innovation in Lebanon. This initiative marks a turning point in the country’s healthcare landscape, offering safer, faster, and more effective surgical treatments for patients.
