Conditions Treated with Robotic Surgery
- Prostate cancer (robotic radical prostatectomy)
- Rectal and colon cancer (robotic low anterior resection)
- Gastric cancer (robotic gastrectomy)
- Gynaecologic cancers (robotic hysterectomy, oophorectomy)
- Kidney cancer (robotic partial/radical nephrectomy)
- Thyroid cancer (transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy)
- Lung cancer (robotic VATS lobectomy)
How Robotic Surgery Works (Step by Step)
- Pre-operative planning with 3D tumour mapping
- General anaesthesia
- Small (0.5–1.2 cm) port incisions
- Robotic arm placement and camera insertion
- Surgeon console control with magnified 3D vision
- Precise dissection and resection
- Lymph node sampling or dissection
- Watertight reconstruction and port closure
Benefits of Robotic Surgery in India
- 3–5× magnified 3D surgical vision vs open surgery
- 7 degrees of freedom — greater than human wrist
- Reduced blood loss (typically 50% less than open)
- Smaller incisions → less pain, faster recovery
- Lower risk of infection and complications
- Shorter hospital stay (2–3 days vs 5–7 for open)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does robotic surgery cost in India vs USA?
A: Robotic prostatectomy costs $6,000–$9,000 in India vs $25,000–$45,000 in the USA. Robotic gastrectomy costs $8,000–$12,000 in India vs $50,000–$80,000 in the USA. India offers 70–80% savings without compromising quality.
Q: Are robotic surgery outcomes the same as in the USA?
A: Yes. Indian robotic surgeons trained in the USA and Europe perform thousands of procedures annually. Complication rates, margin positivity, and functional outcomes (continence, potency) are comparable to leading US centres.
