Call it science or miracle, surgeons from Gurugram successfully operated on a patient admitted to a hospital in Rohini, Delhi. A team of doctors from Rohini's Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Center (RGCIRC) used the first indigenous surgical robot 'Mantra'. Telesurgery was successfully performed for the first time. Fiber-optic cable played an important role in the use of this system. This is because a reliable connection was necessary between the doctor and the robot, which were located about 40 kilometers away from each other. The entire surgical procedure lasted for one hour and 45 minutes. This surgery was done from Gurgaon, away from the patient's hospital.
The wonder of surgical robot 'Mantra'
In this, the surgeon controlled the robotic instrument through the console. During this, the patient remained in RGCIRC and the local medical staff present in the hospital took care of him during the entire operation. Doctors claimed that this complex surgery was done for the first time in India. The 52-year-old patient from Delhi was suffering from bladder cancer and was operated upon by surgeon Dr SK Rawal. Dr Rawal is also the medical director of the cancer institute. He also gave an update on the patient's health after the surgery. Dr Rawal said that the patient is completely fine and is recovering fast.

Surgeon from Gurugram operated on a patient in Rohini
Dr. SK Rawal said that this surgical robot made in India has the potential to revolutionize access to healthcare in small towns and remote areas. With the help of these robots, skilled surgeons can perform operations even in remote areas. He said that these surgical robots can successfully provide high quality care to patients in 'C class cities, war or space'. This technology eliminates the need for physical presence of experts. With the help of these robots made in India, skilled surgeons can perform operations from a distance.
How surgical robots could revolutionise medicine
Surgical robots manufactured by international companies are very expensive, making them impractical to deploy in smaller Indian cities or towns. However, the indigenous surgical robot developed by cardiac surgeon Dr Sudhir Srivastava offers an effective way to bridge this gap. Through these robots, specialist surgeons in underprivileged areas can expand their reach and provide advanced surgical procedures to a wider population.
Hope arose after successful surgery by robot
In the current case, the surgeon performed the successful surgery with precision and expertise through the robot. The patient needed a very small incision of only 4-5 cm, while in open surgery the length of the incision is 15-20 cm. Rawal said that this innovative approach to surgery has demonstrated the potential of telemedicine to revolutionize healthcare delivery. It enabled expert medical professionals to provide the necessary care to patients regardless of the geographical distance.
