Discover minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgery

It is a system with three parts:
Surgeon console is the control centre where your surgeon sits to perform the operation.
Patient cart holds the camera and surgical instruments your surge on controls from the console.
Vision cart manages the communication between all the system components and provides a screen for the care team to view the operation.

Surgical Robotic Systems have been widely adopted by surgeons and benefited millions of patients. More than 8.0 million robotic-assisted procedures have taken place worldwide, roughly, every 26 seconds, a patient somewhere in the world gets operated through Robotic Assisted Surgeries.

Just as technology, such as MRI and CT scanners, enhances clinicians’ skills beyond what the human body allows, RAS system extends the capabilities of a surgeon’s eyes and hands. With RAS your surgeon:
• Stays with you in the operating room and uses his or her hands to control a camera and surgical instruments to perform the procedure.
• Views the entire operation in 3-dimensional high definition (3DHD), giving your surgeon a crystal- clear view of the surgical area that is magnified 10 times to what the human eye sees.
• Uses tiny instruments that move like a human hand but with an even greater range of motion. The system’s built-in tremor-filtration technology helps your surgeon to move each instrument with smooth precision.

By providing surgeons with superior visualisation, enhanced dexterity, greater precision and ergonomic comfort, Robotic surgical systems make it possible for skilled surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving complex dissection or reconstruction.

In general, robotic surgery costs around INR 50K – 70K more than a typical surgical procedure. Since robot is costly, the additional cost is directly related to the robotic instruments used for performing the procedure.
All other associated costs remain same as compared to any traditional, open or laparoscopic surgery. With respect to the incurred cost of robotic surgery, patients get several benefits such as lesser complexities, quicker recovery, minimal incisions, lesser blood loss, and ultimately better quality of life.

Generally, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical techniques are employed for typical procedures, but these techniques have their limitations of standard 2D video and rigid instruments that surgeons use. These instruments are incapable of providing high quality video of the affected region that is very much important in case of complex surgeries. Robotic surgery makes it easier for surgeons to carry out complex procedures without making bigger incisions.
The limitations associated with conventional laparoscopic surgical techniques trigger the need for a more advanced minimally invasive surgical technique.

In most cases, surgeons check whether the patient’s case is feasible enough for robotic surgery. If yes, this surgery is recommended with complete details about the procedure, benefits, effects, costs and time. Most patients follow their surgeons’ advice in regard to surgical procedure.

Be sure to talk with your surgeon about the surgical outcomes he or she delivers by using Robotic systems, as every surgeon’s experience is different. For example, ask about:

- Length of hospital stay
- Complication rate
- Chance of switching to an open procedure
- Length of surgery
There are additional outcomes of surgery that you may want to talk with your doctor about. Please ask him or her about all important outcomes of surgery.

Complications may occur in any surgery, including robotic-assisted surgery. Bleeding, Infection, Injury to tissues and/or organs, Internal scarring may occur. Sometimes these may require an additional procedure or treatment or prolonged hospitalization.

1. Precision in surgery
2. Smaller incisions and less scarring
3. Fewer complications. Such as surgical site infections
4. Less postoperative pain and Less need for pain medication and less need for pain medication
5. Reduced hospital stays and faster healing
6. Quicker return to normal activity and work
