Robotic-assisted surgery combines a surgeon’s expertise with the precision, dexterity, and enhanced visualisation of a robotic system.
Dr. Sujeeth offers robotic surgery at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, for a wide range of abdominal, colorectal, and general surgical procedures.
How robotic surgery works
The robotic surgical system consists of a surgeon-controlled console and a patient-side robotic unit with multiple arms.
The surgeon operates from a console with a 3D high-definition view of the operative field, controlling robotic instruments that mimic and amplify hand movements with greater precision than conventional laparoscopy. The robotic instruments have seven degrees of movement, far exceeding the range of motion of the human wrist.
Procedures performed robotically
- Robotic colorectal resection (colon and rectal cancer surgery)
- Robotic hernia repair (inguinal, ventral, and incisional hernias)
- Robotic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
- Robotic fundoplication (GERD surgery)
- Robotic appendectomy
- Robotic bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy)
- Robotic thyroid surgery
- Robotic Heller myotomy (achalasia)
Robotic vs laparoscopic surgery
Enhanced precision
Robotic instruments offer tremor filtration and scaled movements, allowing surgeons to perform fine dissection in anatomically difficult areas with a level of precision not achievable with conventional laparoscopy.
3D visualisation
The robotic console provides a magnified, three-dimensional, high-definition view of the operative field, far superior to the 2D view of standard laparoscopy.
Ergonomic advantage
The surgeon operates in a comfortable seated position, reducing fatigue during long procedures and maintaining consistent precision throughout the operation.
Benefits of robotic surgery for patients
- Smaller incisions, less post-operative pain
- Faster return to normal activity compared to open surgery
- Shorter hospital stay
- Reduced blood loss and lower risk of complications
- Excellent outcomes in complex, confined anatomical areas
- Lower risk of conversion to open surgery
Frequently asked questions
Q: Is the robot performing the surgery autonomously?
A: No. The robotic system is fully controlled by the surgeon at every moment. The robot does not act independently. It precisely translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more precise instrument movements inside the patient’s body.
Q: Is robotic surgery safe?
A: Yes. Robotic surgery has an excellent safety record with outcomes comparable or superior to conventional laparoscopic or open surgery for the same procedures, when performed by a trained robotic surgeon.
Q: How long does robotic surgery take?
A: Operating time varies by procedure. In experienced hands, robotic surgery is comparable in duration to standard laparoscopic surgery. The learning curve for robotic surgery means that experienced surgeons achieve efficient operative times.
Q: Am I a candidate for robotic surgery?
A: Most patients who are candidates for laparoscopic surgery are also candidates for robotic surgery. Dr. Sujeeth will assess your individual case and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.
