Hyderabad’s first robot healers
In a path-breaking move towards bariatric surgery, KIMS Hospitals successfully undertook Robotic Gastric Sleeve Procedures and Robotic Mini-Gastric Bypass on two patients. KIMS Hospitals has pioneered the field of robotic surgery, being one of the first in Hyderabad to introduce the robot-driven procedures.
In a path-breaking move towards bariatric surgery, KIMS Hospitals successfully undertook Robotic Gastric Sleeve Procedures and Robotic Mini-Gastric Bypass on two patients. KIMS Hospitals has pioneered the field of robotic surgery, being one of the first in Hyderabad to introduce the robot-driven procedures.
Having performed more than 350 highly critical and advanced robotic surgeries, specifically for cancer and gastro treatments, KIMS Hospitals extended the surgical procedure to treat obese patients. Under the aegis of renowned Bariatric and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dr T Lakshmikanth, the team has deployed the universally proven ‘daVinci Surgical System’ that acts as an impressive assistant in the surgical field with over 1.5 million procedures performed worldwide.
The procedure helps doctors take complete control of the robot, with each physical movement translated into an action of the robot and enables greater precision and better control. Dr T Lakshmikanth, Senior Bariatric and Laparoscopic Surgeon said, “The patient who was operated upon two months ago is responding well in the form of ideal weight loss.
The robots operate in 360 degree mode and can reach any deeper portion and difficult-to-access parts, especially the stomach blood vessels. The suturing becomes so accurate since normal and straight-shaped equipment can reach in limited portions while the robotic one is highly flexible. The advantages of less blood loss and faster recovery besides no scars and no side effects make Robotic surgeries most advanced and ideal.”
“The procedure was started on the individual weighing 136 kg at the age of 45 years. His complaints were snoring and pedel oedema or swelling as a result of excess fluid in foot. We undertook the robotic process, and the patient, has so far lost 25 kg,” added the doctor.
Congratulating the team, Dr B Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, KIMS Hospitals, said, “Our endeavour to offer the latest and the best service to the patients has been motivating us in this direction. The robotic bariatric surgery is one such milestone and we are confident to bring more in the days to come.
The robotic surgery process brought with it excellent advantages including much quicker gastrointestinal recovery, which, in turn reduced the incidences of pneumonia and aspirations.”
