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.

1. Is robotic-assisted surgery safe? Yes. They are safe & effective and are used in top hospitals worldwide. At GKNM, the surgery is performed only by trained doctors following precision and safety rules.

2. How do I know if I’m eligible? Your doctor will review your condition and medical history and then find out if robotic-assisted surgery is the right fit or not.

3. Is robotic surgery more expensive? In many cases, it is covered by insurance. Our team will assist with all related documentation and guide you through all your financial queries.

4. Will I need more hospital time? No, robotic surgery usually means you need to spend less time in the hospital. Many patients go home the next day or in 2-3 days.

5. Is robotic surgery better than traditional surgery? It depends on your condition. For many procedures, robotic-assisted surgery offers clear benefits like smaller cuts, less pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications. 

6. What kind of procedures can be done robotically? Robotic assisted surgery is used for a wide range of procedures in urology, gastroenterology, gynaecology, general surgery, thoracic, and head & neck.
