Facilities of Robotic Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi, India

State-of-the-art operating theatres are equipped with the Da Vinci Si surgical system, the most advanced platform for minimally invasive surgery available today.

The four armed surgical robotic system is a breakthrough in surgical capabilities across the key specialties of Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Urology and Gynecology at Apollo Hospitals.

 

The da Vinci Si Surgical system: Advantages

·         3D high definition vision Up to ten times magnification

·         An immersive view of the surgical field through tiny incisions of 1cm to 2 cm

·         EndoWrist Instruments with seven degrees of freedom for range of motion far greater than the human hand with reduction of hand tremor

·         Enhanced dexterity

·         Greater accuracy

·         Complex surgical manoeuvres made easier through smaller ports

·         Minimises patient trauma even in confined spaces of the chest, abdomen or pelvis

·         The only system that allows surgeons to operate while seated

·         Better ergonomics than traditional open and laparoscopic surgery

·         Natural hand-eye positioning

·         Reduced surgeon fatigue

·         Improved surgical capabilities

Four robotic arms with added mechanical strength makes minimally invasive approach possible even for high BMI patients

Institute of Robotic Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi, India

Robotic Surgery is fast gaining ground all over the world as the preferred mode of surgery. Apart from the clear advantages like higher patient comfort and safety, it also helps significantly cut down the length of stay at hospital.

Apollo Hospitals has been at the forefront of adopting new technologies for better patient care. With its fully equipped, world class OT's, addition of Robotic technology has augmented the continuous effort of Apollo to bring best clinical outcomes for the patient.

Apollo Hospitals has established the Apollo Institute of Robotic Surgery in collaboration with the Vattikuti Foundation of Michigan, USA. This multi-speciality, multi-modality Institute will offer Robot Assisted Surgeries of world class standards at costs which are just a fraction of what is charged in hospitals in advanced nations.

Considering the benefits, we do expect a sizeable patient flow to the Institute right from the beginning. To ensure that we have enough quality manpower, we have planned for extensive sessions to train surgeons to perform simple to complex surgical procedures using the most advanced robotic systems.
