Mumbai – In a significant leap forward for surgical care, hospitals in Mumbai are now increasingly adopting robotic surgery to treat various stomach-related ailments, offering patients greater precision, faster recovery, and minimal pain.
Doctors at leading multispeciality hospitals report that robot-assisted procedures are transforming the treatment landscape for gastrointestinal issues such as stomach tumors, ulcers, hernias, and reflux disorders. Unlike traditional surgery, robotic systems enable surgeons to operate with enhanced dexterity and vision, leading to better outcomes and fewer complications.
Speaking about the advancement, Dr. Prakash Iyer, a senior gastro surgeon at a reputed Mumbai hospital, shared,
“With robotic surgery, we can perform complex stomach procedures with extreme precision. Patients recover faster, experience less pain, and return to their daily activities sooner than after conventional surgery.”
Key Benefits of Robotic Surgery for Stomach Ailments:
- Higher Accuracy: Robotic arms eliminate human tremors, enabling precise surgical actions.
- Smaller Incisions: Minimally invasive procedures mean less trauma to the body.
- Reduced Blood Loss: Lower risk of complications due to fine control and minimal tissue damage.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients often go home within 24–48 hours post-surgery.
- Faster Recovery Time: Most return to normal routine within a week.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds reduce chances of post-operative infections.
Doctors say robotic surgery is particularly useful in re-do surgeries, complex hernia repairs, and bariatric procedures. As more hospitals invest in this advanced technology, robotic-assisted surgery is expected to become the gold standard for gastrointestinal operations in urban India.
With patient-centric advantages and surgeon-friendly capabilities, Mumbai is fast emerging as a hub for advanced robotic gastrointestinal surgeries, setting a benchmark for modern healthcare.
