60 Robotic Surgeries in a Span of 6 months: a Milestone at Aster Medcity-Kochi




DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, March 31st 2015 [ME NewsWire]

Aster Medcity – Kochi, South Asia’s largest quaternary care hospital in Kerala-India, under Dubai-headquartered healthcare major Aster DM Healthcare, recently completed 60 robotic surgeries in a short span of six months. These advanced robotic surgeries are known to provide excellent surgical outcomes with minimal patient discomfort.

Aster Medcity is also the first hospital in the South Indian state of Kerala to have a robotic surgery unit and a specialised Minimal Access Robotic Surgery (MARS) team. The doctors from Aster Medcity’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) conducted the robotic surgeries for a wide spectrum of cases such as urology, gastroenterology, gynecology and obstetrics and oncology.

Consultants in the MARS team include Dr Kishore TA and Dr Ramprasad (Urology), Dr Mayadevi Kurup, Dr Shameema Anvarsadath and Dr Sherlyn Mathen (Gyneacology and Obstetrics), Dr Syam Vikram (Oncology) Dr VA Iyoob and Dr Prasad Krishnan (Gastroenterology).

Commenting on the achievement, Dr Harish Pillai, CEO of Aster Medcity, said, “We believe in getting and adapting the latest state-of-the-art technology for our patients. Having the MARS team in place was one such step for providing cutting-edge technology to our patients. Performing such a large number of these beneficial surgeries in such a short span of time has led to better surgical outcomes and eased patient discomfort.”

Talking about the highly efficient MARS team, Dr Kishore T A, Sr Consultant – Urology, Aster Medcity, said, “Robotic surgery is the most technologically advanced and minimally invasive approach to complex surgical procedures available today. We are one of the few medical centers in the country, and the first in Kerala state, to use the state-of-the-art High Definition da Vinci-S Surgical System to perform robotic urologic surgery. Before the advent of surgical robots, urologic surgeons performed these procedures through large abdominal incisions or using less versatile and mobile laparoscopic instruments. These surgeries improve patient comfort and care drastically.”

Dr Iyoob Ali, Sr Consultant – Surgical Gastroenterologist at Aster Medcity, said, “The MARS team can provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. We received some interesting cases over the last six months and were glad to be able to provide the latest surgical option to them. Patients are getting the skilled care they need and we aim to continue supporting patients through this advance technique.”

Dr Mayadevi Kurup, Senior Consultant and Lead - Aster Women’s Health, said, “Robotic surgery is being increasingly preferred to open surgery or laparoscopic surgery for most gynecology related operations including benign ovarian tumor, complex hysterectomy, fibroids in the uterus, lymph node dissection for uterine cancer and cervical cancer and severe endometriosis.”

Dr Syam Vikram, Consultant and Surgical Oncologist, CoE - Oncology and his team conducted the first colo-rectal surgery (large intestinal surgery) in Kerala and became the third surgical oncology department in South India to perform robotic surgery in oncology.

Robotic surgery is conducted using the da Vinci® Surgical System, a state-of-the-art telesurgical, master-slave robotic system which replicates the surgeon’s exact movements on the master controls onto robotic instruments in the patient using their EndoWrist® technology. Instead of using the surgery instruments by hand, robotic arms are used which are controlled by efficient surgeons with the help of advanced computers. Robotic surgery has opened up new avenues in the near future in surgical practice.
