AIIMS Delhi’s new robotic surgery training center will provide hundreds of surgeons with much-needed robotic surgery training that can deliver better patient outcomes by increasing access to quality healthcare and reducing costs. provide skills, the expert said Saturday.
AIIMS New Delhi and India Medtronic Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Medtronic, announced this week the opening of a state-of-the-art surgical robotics training center in the country’s premier healthcare destination.
The center provides surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery.
It is the first center at AIIMS to utilize Medtronic’s Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) system, which was first introduced in India in September 2021.
Michael Blackwell, Vice President and Managing Director, Medtronic India, said:
Dr. Minu Bajpai, HOD in Pediatric Surgery and Dean Academics at AIIMS, said surgical robotics and artificial intelligence are already changing the way surgical care is delivered.
“This initiative paves the way for surgeons to progress from open and laparoscopic surgery to advanced RAS and shorten the learning curve for mastering robotic skills,” added Bajpai.
RAS is a new medical technology that helps standardize surgical procedures and enables surgeons to perform complex operations.
This training center offers a wide range of training to enhance your RAS knowledge and skill set, from basic skills training to procedural training to more advanced and specialized areas of soft tissue surgery.
According to Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, director of robotics research and education at the Vaticuti Institute of Urology, Henry Ford Hospital in the United States, AIIMS New Delhi will set up a training facility to train surgeons to become proficient in robotic surgery. It’s heartwarming. A number of surgical robots have greatly advanced the practice of surgery in this millennium.
“By shortening patient hospital stays with robotic surgery, more patients in need of life-saving surgery and organ transplants will be able to access medical facilities,” added Dr. Bhandari, CEO of the Vattikuti Foundation. .
Over the past decade, the Vattikuti Foundation has trained over 500 super-specialist surgeons in all specialties to become skilled robotic surgeons in India.
The Hugo RAS system is a modular multi-quadrant platform for a variety of soft tissue procedures. Designed to provide the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. This means fewer complications, less scarring, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activity.
