We offer both conventional and advanced minimally invasive surgical options to manage conditions such as liver tumours, pancreatic cysts, and bile duct obstructions, focusing on improving patient outcomes and recovery times.Robotics in Gastrointestinal Surgery
Robotic Surgery is the new leaf in the story of gastrointestinal surgery (GIS). Robotic surgery is a robotic assisted system of surgery (Surgeon-robot), in which the robot does not operate independently but is controlled by the surgeon. In the past 20 years, there has been a breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery in GIS in the form of Laparoscopic Surgery and Thoracoscopic surgery. Today most Gastrointestinal Cancers are being treated by minimally invasive methods be it oesophagus, stomach, colorectum or hepatobiliary pancreas. Robotic surgery has many advantages over open and laparoscopic surgery.
Advantages of Robotic GIS
- Robotic Surgery provides all the advantages of conventional and laparoscopic surgery with even better precision.
- This leads to better patient outcomes in terms of lesser blood loss and early recovery.
- The oncological outcomes have been shown at par in many randomised control trials compared to open or laparoscopic surgery.
