Zen Multi Specialty Hospital in Mumbai has launched robotic-assisted surgery which will enable patients to receive sophisticated treatments with less downtime and even in hard-to-reach areas, the hospital has said in a statement.
Various types of robotic-assisted surgery available are colectomy, gastrectomy, gastric bypass, appendectomy, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair. This surgery is more reliable, precise, and accurate than human hands and their range of motion is greater. A 3-d camera provides magnified, high-definition views of the surgical areas, the statement added.
“We live in times when there are myriad medical developments happening to help us to live better, stronger, and longer lives. A large number of complicated cases can be managed through robotic surgeries. Robotic-assisted surgery is available for intestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, weight-loss bypass, gallbladder, and hernia repair Surgeries," said Dr Roy Patankar, Gastrointestinal Surgeon and Director of Zen Multispecialty Hospital.
Dr Roy further stated that this technology will go a long way in providing that much-needed relief to the people and helping them bounce back on track. This minimally invasive surgery lowers the risk of infections, there is less pain during recovery, shorter hospital stays, small scars, and reduced blood loss.
