Gleneagles Hospital Chennai Sets Record with 5 kg Fibroid Removal
Gleneagles Hospital Chennai held a special meeting for doctors to talk about using robots in women's health surgeries.
They showed how robots can help remove very big growths called fibroids, even ones as heavy as 5 kg.
This was a big deal because it showed that robots can do complex surgeries with tiny cuts, making patients recover faster and with less pain.
The meeting was attended by many important doctors, and they all agreed that using robots is now the best way to do these kinds of surgeries.
The hospital and the local doctors' group are working together to make sure that all patients in the area get the best and safest care possible.
Gleneagles Hospital Chennai hosted a CME program on robotic gynaecology in Tirupati, attended by over 40 gynaecologists.
Dr. Padmapriya Vivek presented a landmark case of a 4.95 kg fibroid removal using robotic technology.
The procedure showcased minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and enhanced precision in complex surgeries.
The event was organized in association with the Tirupati Obstetric and Gynaecological Society (TOGS) and the Department of OBG - SVMC, Tirupati.
Dr. Padmapriya Vivek emphasized that robotic surgery is now the new standard for women's healthcare.
