Advancements in robotic surgery in India continue to transform modern surgical practices across multiple medical disciplines. Recently, Fortis Hospital in Bengaluru completed 3,000 robot-assisted procedures using the Da Vinci Xi surgical system. Consequently, it became the fastest Indian hospital to reach this milestone after launching in 2018.
Expanding Scope of Robotic Surgery in India
The hospital currently utilizes robotic systems across twelve surgical specialties. These specialties include urology, kidney transplantation, gynaecology, surgical oncology, gastrointestinal, bariatric, and cardiac surgery. Furthermore, Fortis Bannerghatta Road stands among the few Indian medical centres operating two Da Vinci Xi platforms under one roof. The facility also launched the TREAT initiative to enhance precision during kidney transplant procedures.
Clinical Impact and Technological Advancement
Medical technology continues to redefine patient safety and clinical outcomes in high-volume tertiary care centres. Speaking at the commemoration ceremony, State Health Minister UT Khader highlighted Karnataka’s reputation as a healthcare centre of excellence. Additionally, he emphasized that ongoing technical innovations must consistently deliver safer patient care, superior accessibility, and better treatment results.
