KOCHI:
Aster Medcity, Kochi announced the successful completion of 1750 Minimal Access Robotic Surgeries (MARS) using the da Vinci system in an event conducted in Kochi. Being one of the most active robotic surgery centres in Kerala, Medcity performed 230 kidney transplants alone via MARS. Robotic surgeries are highly specialised and advanced minimal access procedures that are performed by surgeons with the help of a surgery robot like the da Vinci at Aster Medcity.
Being a minimal access procedure, robotic surgeries are safer and surgeons can ensure high precision results compared to conventional surgeries. The associated pain, complications, blood loss and scarring are way lesser compared to normal surgeries, which in turn translates to faster recovery. The hospital stay and post-surgery recovery period are minimal as well, and patients can get back to their normal lives in a very short time. Under the guidance of experienced robotic surgeons, Aster Medcity performs robotic surgery in urology, Gynaecology, Oncosurgery, Gastrosurgery, and liver transplant for patients of all ages.
“MARS is a highly advanced robotic procedure that performs minimally invasive surgeries with utmost precision. With the expertise of robotic tools, it is possible to perform operations on any sensitive part of the body with great precision. Therefore, complex surgeries can be completed very skillfully and successfully.,” says Dr. Kishore T.A – Senior Consultant – Urology, Aster Medcity.
Aster Medcity is the first hospital in Kerala to offer precision robotic surgeries using Da Vinci surgical system. One of the few centers in the country to offer specialized Robotic Liver and Pancreas Surgery, Aster Medcity is the third center in the world to perform Robotic Trans-vaginal Kidney Transplant Surgery.
“As a leader in the healthcare society, we own the privilege of introducing the best and most advanced treatment options available in the world.
