Surgery with Da Vinci Xi System, the most advanced
robotic surgical technology available in India
The benefits of
robotic surgery include a minimally invasive approach, faster return to daily
activities, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stay with reduced
hospitalisation costs.
Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), the flagship hospital of Fortis Healthcare Limited,
announced acquiring Da Vinci Xi System, the most advanced robotic surgical
technology for performing a minimal invasive surgery.
The new Da Vinci Xi System acts as an extension of
the doctor’s hands, allowing him or her to perform a surgery with pinpoint
accuracy and very little damage to surrounding tissues. The benefits of robotic
surgery include a minimally invasive approach, faster return to daily
activities, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stay with reduced
hospitalisation costs.
According to Dr Sanjay Gogoi, Director, Urology and Renal
Transplants, FMRI, ’The device
allows high definition 3 D imaging, allowing surgeons to conduct complicated
procedures with relative ease. The procedure involves using wristed instruments
that bend and rotate far beyond the abilities of the human hand. Moreover, the
tremor filtration and intuitive motion technologies allows the surgeons to
operate with steady natural motion with the comforts of sitting on an easy
chair.’
The first surgery was performed by Dr Gogoi on a 35-year
old patient from Congo, Central Africa. She had Yousuf’s Syndrome, a condition
where due to complications from previous caesarean sections, an anomalous
fistulous communication had formed between the uterus and the urinary bladder.
This had led to menstrual bleeding draining into the bladder, leading to
cyclical hematuria and repeated infections. Occasionally she also had urinary
incontinence, as urine would flow into the uterus and leak out.
Dr Gogoi, added ‘Previous medical consultations and
reviews had all pointed towards a hysterectomy. However, she was not willing to
undergo the procedure for removal of the uterus. With our robotic surgery
programme, we not only managed to separate the fistula that had formed between
the two organs, but also saved her from a hysterectomy. Surgeons at FMRI are currently
utilising advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for all surgical
specialities.’
