Advanced Robotics Surgical Program Unveiled at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi
Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Vashi, a leading healthcare provider in Navi Mumbai, has taken a significant step forward in the realm of surgical technology with the launch of its Robotic Surgery Program. This innovative initiative promises to revolutionize the way surgeries are performed, offering numerous benefits to patients.
Advantages of Robotic-assisted Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery offers a multitude of advantages across various surgical fields, including General Surgery, Gastrointestinal Procedures, Urology, Gynecology, Oncology, and general surgery. The enhanced precision and control, better visualization, minimally invasive procedures, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery are just a few of the benefits that this technology brings to the table.
General Surgery and Gastrointestinal Procedures
In general surgery and gastrointestinal procedures, the precision and control offered by robotic arms allow for targeted operations with less trauma, resulting in quicker postoperative recovery and improved patient outcomes.
Urology and Gynecology
In Urology and Gynecology, the enhanced dexterity and 3D visualization facilitate delicate reconstructive and oncologic surgeries in tight pelvic spaces that are challenging with traditional methods.
Oncology
In Oncology, robotic surgery enables precise tumor excision while sparing healthy tissue, decreasing complications and improving functional preservation.
Across these specialties, robotic systems improve surgical accuracy and minimize tissue damage, often allowing outpatient or shorter inpatient stays. The technology assists but does not replace the surgeon, preserving expert clinical judgement while enhancing surgical efficacy and patient safety.
The Versius Surgical System
The Robotic Surgery Program at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Vashi is equipped with the Versius Surgical System, a state-of-the-art robotic technology. This system biomimics a human arm, providing surgeons with unparalleled precision and control.
Leading the Robotic Surgery Unit
The robotic surgery unit will be led by esteemed surgeons Dr. Jignesh Gandhi and Dr. Shishir Shetty. They will be supported by a team including Dr. Ram Khare, Dr. Prakash Sankapal, Dr. Roji Philip, and Dr. Sharad Sharma.
A Commitment to Medical Excellence
This initiative is a testament to Fortis Hiranandani Hospital Vashi's commitment to continuously elevating healthcare standards and staying at the forefront of medical excellence. The hospital aims to offer patients safer, faster, and more effective procedures, further solidifying its position as a center of excellence for high-end technology-driven healthcare.
The hospital's goal is to ensure that patients in Navi Mumbai and beyond have access to world-class treatment options, closer to home. The robotic surgical unit will be used for Gastrointestinal, Urology, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Pancreatic and abdominal Oncology procedures, as well as general surgery.
The inauguration of the Robotic Surgery Program was graced by Dr. S. Narayani, Business Head - Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra. This marks another milestone in the hospital's journey towards delivering quality care and raising the benchmark for healthcare services in Navi Mumbai.
