Abstract
The text is a response to a letter to the editor about the introduction of robot-assisted surgery in the Split Clinical Hospital Center. The authors welcome the development of new technologies, but emphasize that robotic surgery in the Republic of Croatia began in 2019 at the Zagreb Clinical Hospital Center. They show the past experience of KBC Zagreb with more than a thousand robot-assisted surgeries and the establishment of the Center for Robotic Medicine as a platform for further development of this area.
