Jaipur, December 2019– In order to raise awareness about the recent advancements for managing urological disorders, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, one of the leading healthcare providers in the country, today organized a press conference in the Pink City of Jaipur.

The event extensively highlighted about the state-of-the-art technology deployed at Max, known as ‘da Vinci® Surgical Robot’. This robotic system has already proved to improve outcomes in complex surgical procedures. He further highlighted that this technology is currently available only in selected hospitals in the country; with Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket being one of them.

The technology is designed to provide doctors with a twelve times magnified field of vision in 3D. It also enables doctors to sit on a console and control the robotic arms using joysticks to carry out the most intricate steps of complex surgical procedures with unparalleled ease and finesse. Apart from unparalleled precision, this minimally invasive surgical method reduces the risk of operative blood loss. These benefits further result in minimizing the recovery period to a few days, at best.

Highlighting the advantages of the AI-driven surgical robotic system, Dr. Ruchir Maheshwari, Senior Consultant, Urology, Max Super Speciality Hospital Saket, said, “Our urology team has a vast experience in dealing with all the spectrums of urological diseases. The team has expertise in managing complex urological disorders in high risk patients with multiple medical co-morbidities. We have successfully treated patients from India, Africa, middle East and Central Asia who are live testimony to our dedication of providing the most advanced urological care to our patients.

Additionally, the robotic surgery can be used for a broad range of urological problems. Some of the procedures being routinely done with da Vinci Surgical Robot include radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, partial nephrectomy, renal transplant as well as reconstructive surgeries of urinary system such as pyeloplasty, ureteric re-implantation, vesico-vagninal fistula repair, bladder augmentation, and more. The advantages are especially evident in managing cases of prostate cancer (good cancer clearance with better functional outcomes) and small kidney tumors (the tumor is completely removed along with saving normal kidney)

He further added, “There is an increasing prevalence in Tier IIcities of urological disorders which need our immediate attention. This is due to unawareness among the common people about various precautionary steps, key symptoms and treatment coupled with limited access to high end healthcare expertise and infrastructure.”

Over the past years, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket has been actively working towards ensuring international standard healthcare facilities. The unit has held numerous awareness camps, health-camps and OPDs for urological disorders across North India.
