Chennai, 1st August 2024:
– Kauvery Hospital, a leading multi-specialty healthcare provider in
Tamil Nadu, proudly announces a remarkable milestone in its pursuit of medical
excellence. The hospital successfully performed six robotic-assisted surgeries
in a single day, underscoring its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge
technology for superior patient outcomes. This achievement also marks the
hospital crossing over 100 robotic-assisted surgeries, setting a new benchmark
in advanced surgical care.
The state-of-the-art Da Vinci 4th generation robotic system
used at Kauvery Hospital is renowned for its precision and minimally invasive
capabilities. This advanced technology enables surgeons to perform complex and
delicate procedures with enhanced accuracy, reducing recovery time and improving
overall patient experience.
Speaking on the advanced Robotic Surgery, Dr Swaminthan
Sambandam, Director- Liver,
Multi-Organ Transplant Surgery, Robotic GI and Hepato Pancreato Biliary Surgery, says “Robotic-assisted surgery has
revolutionized the way we approach complex cases,where hands of a surgeon may
not be able to reach the most intricate parts, however with robotic assisted
surgeries the surgeons can control the movement of the robotic arms thereby
making it possible to reach difficult areas, and enabling us to perform
intricate procedures.”
The robotic wrists can move 360 degrees, thereby helping
surgeons to perform procedures such as complex gallbladder removal, hernia
repair, kidney transplants, hysterectomies, donor hepatectomy and oncological surgeries
with unparalleled precision. “The robotic surgeries have also been proven to
reduce hospital stays by 50%, and patients can get back to routine life much
faster when compared to other methods of surgery. We had successfully performed
6 surgeries in a single day including one Kidney Transplant with a fantastic
team of surgeons, anesthetists and nursing team. " added Dr Swaminathan
“Kauvery Hospital stands out as a healthcare institution in
Tamil Nadu offering the most affordable robotic surgery options. This
initiative aligns with the hospital's mission to make world-class healthcare
affordable to all, ensuring that advanced medical treatments are within reach
for a broader demographic. With Robotic Assisted Surgery, patients can
experience faster recovery, lesser pain and shorter hospital stay. With over
100 robotic-assisted surgeries completed, our team of expert surgeons and
dedicated medical professionals ensures that our patients receive the best
possible outcomes,” says Dr Aravindan Selvaraj Co-Founder and Executive
Director Kauvery Group of Hospitals.
As per the IRDAI guidelines
majority of health insurance companies
