Bengaluru, Oct 27 :Narayana Health, one of India’s leading hospital chains in the country, Today announced the installation of the latest robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) technology, the da Vinci X, by US-based Intuitive, here.
This is a significant step in making this advanced medical technology accessible to patients from across South India.
Narayana Health Chairman and Executive Director Dr Devi Shetty said the hospital has introduced robotic surgery at multiple Narayana Hospitals across the country and trained one of the largest number of robotic surgeons in India.
“We are committed to making this mission come true every day and are proud to now install the latest da Vinci X technology making treatment more effective and less stressful for patients, care teams, and surgeons. The da Vinci X offers Higher Precision, Flexibility and Control,” he told reporters here.
Robotic surgeons of Narayana Health have one of the largest experience in India in performing complex surgeries on pancreas, kidneys and pelvis especially for cancer patients, Dr Shetty stated.
Today, with advanced surgical technologies like robotic-assisted surgeries with the da Vinci X system, surgeons are able to perform these procedures more efficiently with minimal post-operative care and faster recovery, he said.
Furthermore, this installation will help get better clinical outcomes across multiple surgeries that are performed from head and neck to pelvic procedures including thoracic, gastro-intestinal and heart surgeries, Dr Shetty said.
This include partial nephrectomy, prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, hysterectomy, myomectomy, thymectomy, lobectomy, esophagectomy, colectomy and more, he said.
The da Vinci X technology, known for its better patient outcomes, is also associated with lesser pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and even minimal post-operative complications in certain cases, Dr Shetty said.
In addition to that, da Vinci X brings across some innovative features including voice and laser guidance systems, a lightweight endoscope, and the same control console and 3D optics system that lets surgeons see into the patients as they operate the device, he said.
“These benefits go a long way in enabling the surgeon and care teams in providing life-enhancing care for their patient,” he added.(UNI)
