Cutting-edge Technology Unveiled by Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket to Revolutionize Surgeries in Oncology and Urology

 

Noida, December 29, 2015, 2015: Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket announced the latest evolution in Oncology and advanced Urology surgical procedures today at a Press Conference at Gurgaon. The Da Vinci Surgical System introduced by Max Healthcare will help perform the next generation form of minimally invasive or laparoscopic (small incision) surgery, thus, taking surgical procedures leaps and bounds from traditional open surgeries. The media congregation was addressed by Dr. Harit Chaturvedi, Chairman, Max Institute of Oncology, Dr. Anant Kumar, Director of Urology, Robotics and Renal Transplant at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket. The Robot, available at Max Hospital, Saket, exemplifies the fast-changing face of healthcare technology in the country with limited trauma to the body, shorter hospital stay, cost benefits, limited blood loss, miniscule scarring and very little discomfort. The announcement made today brings relief to thousands of patients who dread open-surgery and the mountainous amount of pressure and anxiety that it brings in their lives and in the lives of their loved ones.

 

Commenting on the break-through technology, Dr. Harit Chaturvedi, Chairman, Max Institute of Oncology, said “Our patients at the Oncology department deal every day with the fact that they have cancer. The added pressure of undergoing open-surgery can be very daunting on both the patient and his family. Open surgery involves a lot of pain and grief for patients with long surgical hours, prolonged stays at the hospital, blood loss and multiple other discomforts. Many young patients also dread the scars that are associated with open surgeries. But The Da Vinci Surgical System will change all of that. Robot-assisted surgery will also allow doctors to perform with better precision, flexibility and control as compared to conventional techniques. In fact, complicated and complex surgeries will now be easier to carry out by the introduction of this technology especially in thoracic and gynae oncology.”

 

He further added, “We, at Max Healthcare, have always strived to provide our patients with the best and the latest available technology there is to offer. And keeping in step with our promise, we have introduced the Next Generation technology in the field of Robotic Surgery. We are especially excited to see the relief and smiles on the faces of our patients who are after all the end-beneficiary of this amazing machinery.”

 

Dr. Anant Kumar, Director of Urology, Robotics and Renal Transplant at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, present at the occasion commented“Robotic surgery is one of the most advanced forms of surgery that is surfacing in the medical sector today. It will be beneficial for both patients and medical practitioners by enhancing skill sets, medical costs, aesthetic and cosmetic benefits and other such advantages. The state-of-the-art da Vinci surgical robotavailable at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, allows surgeons to perform complex Urology surgery through tiny incisions using robotic technology. Surgical robots are self-powered, computer-controlled devices that can be programmed to aid in the positioning and manipulation of surgical instruments.The robot’s “hands” have a high degree of dexterity, allowing surgeons the ability to operate in very tight spaces in the body that would otherwise
