What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery uses computer-assisted robotic systems (such as the da Vinci Surgical System) to perform complex procedures with greater precision, flexibility, and control than conventional techniques. Used across urology, gynaecology, oncology, and cardiothoracic surgery, India leads Asia in robotic procedures at 60–70% lower cost than the UK or USA.
Types of Robotic Surgery
Robotic Urology
Radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and pyeloplasty with robotic precision.
Robotic Gynaecology
Hysterectomy, myomectomy, and endometriosis surgery using robotic-assisted laparoscopy.
Robotic Colorectal Surgery
Low anterior resection and colectomy for colorectal cancer with enhanced precision.
Robotic Cardiac Surgery
Mitral valve repair and CABG performed through small chest incisions.
Robotic Thoracic Surgery
Lung resection and mediastinal surgery using robotic-assisted thoracoscopy.
Types of Robotic Surgery Treatments
da Vinci Robotic System
The world's most widely used robotic platform, offering 3D vision and wristed instruments.
Single-Port Robotic Surgery
All instruments inserted through one small incision for minimal scarring.
Nerve-sparing Robotic Surgery
Critical for prostatectomy — robotic precision preserves erectile and urinary function.
Hybrid Robotic Procedures
Combines robotic and open or laparoscopic techniques for complex cases.
Possible Causes
- Cancer: Prostate, colorectal, gynaecological, and thoracic cancers frequently treated robotically.
- Benign Conditions: Fibroids, endometriosis, BPH, and hernia are also managed robotically.
- Anatomical Complexity: Deep pelvic or confined spaces where robotic dexterity surpasses conventional surgery.
- Patient Preference: Patients seeking faster recovery, less pain, and smaller scars choose robotic surgery.
Conditions Treated
Common Procedures
Why is Robotic Surgery needed?
- Greater precision and control compared to open or laparoscopic surgery
- Smaller incisions leading to less blood loss and faster recovery
- Reduced risk of complications and post-operative pain
- Ideal for prostatectomy, hysterectomy, colorectal, and cardiac surgery
- Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activities
When should you see a specialist?
- Prostate cancer requiring radical prostatectomy
- Gynaecological conditions needing hysterectomy or myomectomy
- Colorectal cancer requiring precise bowel resection
- Complex thoracic procedures where precision is critical
- When the surgeon recommends it as the optimal approach for your condition
Precautions & Aftercare
- Follow all pre-operative fasting and bowel preparation instructions
- Inform your surgeon of all medications, particularly blood thinners
- Arrange post-operative care and transport home in advance
- Avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks post-surgery
- Keep all robotic surgery port sites clean and monitor for infection
- Report any unusual symptoms — fever, worsening pain, or swelling — immediately
