First-ever gynecological robotic surgery

Saturday, 11 June 2022 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

The Apollo Hospitals, Bhubaneswar’s Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) Department performed the first-ever gynaecological robotic surgery for tumours of the uterus on the world’s most advanced da Vinci Robotic platform here on Friday. The surgery was performed jointly by Dr GS Mohapatra and Dr Rooma Sinha, said a media release from the hospital.

 

“As a surgeon I firmly believe that it holds an edge over laparoscopy in complex procedures especially in advanced stages of endometriosis where we work in close proximity with urinary bladder, intestine and ureter (the passage for urine to flow from the kidney) where one wrong move can damage these vital structures and cause devastation in the form of severe morbidity and even mortality. Since the robot offers very precise movements and enhanced wrist movements it can be the procedure of choice also in surgeries done for cancers of uterine endometrium, cervix, ovaries and tubes which need greater tissue dissection and more precise hand movements,” said Dr Mohapatra.
