AIIMS Delhi Performs 1,000 Robotic Surgeries in 13 Months
AIIMS Delhi, a big hospital in India, has been using a special robot to do surgeries.
This robot helps doctors do very tricky surgeries with great care and precision.
In just over a year, they have done more than 1,000 surgeries using this robot.
These surgeries include things like fixing the stomach, liver, and even transplanting kidneys.
The robot helps patients by making smaller cuts, causing less pain, and helping them recover faster.
AIIMS wants to use this technology to help more people and train other doctors to do the same.
AIIMS Delhi has performed over 1,000 robotic surgeries in 13 months.
The surgeries include gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, oncological, transplantation, and endocrine tumor procedures.
Robotic surgery offers benefits like reduced blood loss, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
The initiative aims to enhance patient care and set a benchmark for public healthcare in India.
AIIMS plans to train the next generation of surgeons and potentially expand robotic surgery to other government hospitals.
