Robotic-Assisted Surgery Overview

At GKNM, we understand that undergoing surgery is deeply personal, not just a procedure, but a turning point in your journey toward better health. That’s why we bring you robotic-assisted surgery, a method that combines the skill of our expert surgeons with the precision of advanced robotic technology to help you heal faster, with fewer scars, less pain, and more confidence.

With the Da Vinci Xi Surgical System, we perform complex procedures through tiny incisions, which ensures better outcomes and faster recovery, while keeping you at the centre of every decision.

What Is Robotic-Assisted Surgery?

Robot-assisted surgery is a modern way to perform surgery with greater precision and control. Your surgeon uses a robotic system to guide tiny instruments through small cuts, helping reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time.

It’s still your doctor doing the surgery, and the robot just helps them work more smoothly and accurately. You get the care of expert hands, with the support of advanced technology.

Why Choose Robotic Surgery?

Robotic-assisted surgery combines the skills of experienced surgeons with powerful technology. It offers several advantages compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgery:

Heal Faster with Smaller Incisions Incisions are often just a few centimetres long, which means less scarring and faster healing.
Get More Accurate, Safer Surgery The robotic instruments can rotate and move in ways the human hand cannot. This helps surgeons perform delicate tasks more safely.
Clearer, Closer View A high-definition 3D camera gives a magnified, crystal-clear view of the surgical area, up to 10x more detailed than the naked eye. This makes surgery less complicated.
Lower Risk of Complications With less blood loss and smaller cuts, the infection rates are reduced, and there are fewer post-surgical complications.
Spend Less Time in the Hospital You can go home earlier and recover faster than with open surgery.
Return to Your Daily Life Sooner With less pain and smaller incisions, you return to work and your daily routines sooner.

What Happens During a Robotic-Assisted Surgery?

What really happens at the time of surgery –

While you’re in the operating room, your surgeon is right there with you, seated at the Da Vinci Xi console, focusing deeply on every movement with unmatched precision.
From the console, they gently guide robotic arms holding tiny surgical instruments. These arms can move with more flexibility and zero shakiness than human hands.
A special 3D high-definition camera gives your surgeon a crystal-clear, magnified view of your internal tissues, so they can see more and cut less.
The system is built to filter out any hand tremors, allowing for smoother, more accurate movements, which is especially helpful during delicate and complex procedures.
All of this is done through small incisions to reduce your pain and for faster surgery and success.

In short, it’s still your surgeon doing the surgery, just with a little help from technology that makes it easier to care for you safely and gently.
