Industry hub Pune looks to add robots for cancer surgeries
Pune, Mar 7 (IBNS): Indias leading automobile and manufacturing hub Pune and no stranger to shop floor robots, will soon see city hospitals add surgical robots in their operation theatres to bring succour to cancer patients.
Scores of surgeons from Pune and around got a much better appreciation of Robotic Surgery and its benefits as they touched and felt the robot and experienced the use of advanced technology to improve outcomes.
“The adoption of Robotic Surgery by Indian surgeons in nearly 50 hospitals has encouraged us to showcase this advanced technology for surgery beyond large metros,” says Gopal Chakravarthy, CEO of Vattikuti Technologies.
By demonstrating this surgical robot to a large audience of Indian surgeons, Vattikuti Technologies intends to create not only awareness about Robotic Surgery and its contribution in superior patient outcomes, but also its ease of use.
Robotic Surgery scores over conventional surgery as it enables a high degree of precision and minimises blood loss, dramatically reducing post-operative recovery time and costs.
T.B. Yuvaraja, an eminent surgeon at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital shared his experience of performing robotic surgeries on hundreds of urology cancer patients.

Getting a close-up look at the roving da Vinci® surgical robot surgeons and doctors got an understanding of how robotic surgery works.
Maharashtra has about a dozen surgical robots in Mumbai and Nagpur. Cancer patients from neighbouring Ahmednagar, Aurangabad and Nashik districts will benefit from Robotic Surgeries once Pune hospitals equip themselves with da Vinci Surgical Robot.
Vattikuti Technologies is gearing up to enhance access to Robotic Surgery, covering specialised cancer centers, large government hospitals and small hospitals in non metro cities.
The imperative behind this drive is the quest to conquer cancer. Robotic Surgery has proven superior outcomes in Urology, Oncology, Gynecology, General Surgery and Head and Neck surgery.
Adoption of Robotic Surgery by government hospitals will ensure treatment to people who can’t afford private healthcare but deserve the latest medical attention. The government hospitals typically adopt a dual pricing system--charge only those who can afford.
