Robot Assisted Surgical Operation In Bangalore

Taking minimal invasive surgical procedure
to another height, Manipal Health
Enterprises (MHE) made announcement
about the launching of the Manipal Vattikuti
Institute of Robotic Surgery (MVIRS) in
Bangalore on Monday.
Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Medical Director,
Manipal Hospital, stated that in Robotic
Assisted Surgery (RAS), the computing
machine transforms the medical doctor's
efforts that are then executed on the
sufferer by the robotic surgical system.
The robotic surgical system is specifically
designed to flawlessly replicate the
movement of the medical doctor's hands
with the tips of micro-instruments.
The novel technology assists to triumph over
the preceding restraints of minimally
invasive surgical operation where in place of
directly moving the instruments, the
operating surgeon had to make use of a
computer console to control the instruments
linked to various arms of the robot.
"The system cannot make decisions on its
own, nor can it perform any movement or
manoeuvre, without the surgeon's direct
input, so at all times during the surgery, the
robot is guided by and under the direct
supervision of the surgeon," Dr. Sudarshan
said.
Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) can be
utilized for different kinds of surgical
procedures, from urology to surgical
procedures of cancers comprising prostate,
kidney, oral cavity, intestine, uterus and
cervix.
Reconstruction of pelvic organ prolapse,
congenital abnormalities of kidney, ureter
and bladder, exclusion of uterus for
benignant illness can also be conducted
with the assistance of this novel technique.
