Robotic surgery provides several advantages: Max Hospital experts
Barnala, June 7: “The field of surgical robotics is evolving at a rapid pace, revolutionising the way surgeries are performed and setting new standards for precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes,”
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday Dr. Anupam Goel senior consultant general surgery, GI & robotic Surgery at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali said ,” Robotic surgery provides several advantages over traditional open surgery and standard laparoscopic procedures. While the open surgery offers a full view of the abdomen and the ability to work freely inside the affected area, it requires a large incision through muscle and tissue. This type of incision can be more painful and take longer to heal.”
However, surgical robotics has made significant strides in the medical field. Systems like the da Vinci Xi Surgical System have become widely adopted, providing surgeons with enhanced capability and precision through minimally invasive procedures, he informed.
Further emphasizing the role and future of Robotic Surgery, along with its challenges, Dr. Goel said , “The future of surgical robotics is incredibly promising, but challenges remain unaddressed. Patient scepticism, often due to a lack of understanding, necessitates investment in education to highlight the benefits of robotic-assisted procedures.”
“The high cost of robotic systems can also be a barrier to widespread adoption. Focusing on cost-effective innovations and advocating for insurance coverage that supports robotic surgeries are essential steps in making this technology more accessible. By overcoming these hurdles, we can ensure that more patients benefit from the precision and safety that robotic surgery offers.”
Later a CME was also organised by Max Hospital in Barnala where over 100 doctors across Punjab participated while shedding light on advancements in gastro-intestinal robotic surgery.
The CME not only offered valuable educational insights but also highlighted Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali’s unwavering commitment to fostering healthcare excellence through continuous learning.
