Grammar points
N 중among N, out of N
중 follows a group to pick out part of it, and takes a space before it. Adding 에서 gives 중에서, which is a little heavier and is preferred when what follows is a ranking rather than a count — 의료기관 중에서는 처음입니다, 'among medical institutions, it is the first'.
Example: 비수도권 의료기관 중에서는 처음입니다.
Among medical institutions outside the Seoul area, it is the first.
-아서/어서because / and then
-아서/어서 links two clauses where the first leads into the second, either as a cause or simply as the earlier step. Use -아서 after ㅏ or ㅗ in the stem and -어서 elsewhere. Unlike -고, the two halves have to be connected; here the hospital brought the robot in and, on that basis, began robotic surgery.
Example: 2011년에 수술용 로봇 다빈치Si를 도입해서 로봇수술을 시작했습니다.
In 2011 they brought in a surgical robot, the da Vinci Si, and started robotic surgery.
