Nadiad kidney hospital to unveil robot that will perform Surgery
Talking about the benefits of performing a robotic surgery, Desai added, "A robot moves all 360 degrees and this makes tissue handling better. Even suturing is better compared to open surgery. The performance of a surgeon is variable, with human hands having certain limitation. During a robotic surgery, the doctor sits on the console and performs with robot following the instruction."
The first patient to be operated upon will be from Nadiad undergoing prostrate cancer procedure. "We plan to conduct ten surgeries with the help of the team of doctors from USC. For one year, we will be seeking their help and then we will be on our own. Everyone will get the benefit of this new technology as needy patients will be operated free of cost," said Desai.
"Gujaratis settled abroad are getting the best healthcare facilities. We wanted to offer the same to those residing in Gujarat. With our hospital acquiring the robot, we want to bring in the best technology to fulfill patient's need of minimal hospital stay and also reduce the morbidity rate," Desai told TOI.
