Experience cutting-edge care through our advanced robotic-assisted cardiac surgeries. Our skilled surgical team employs state-of-the-art robotic technology to perform precise procedures, ensuring optimal outcomes and quick recovery. Robotic-assisted surgery employs advanced technology to achieve greater precision and minimize invasiveness. Utilizing robotic arms, surgeons perform procedures through smaller incisions, reducing both trauma and scarring. This improves visibility and facilitates precise manoeuvres during intricate cardiac procedures. 

  • Cardiac conditions where Robotic-assisted Surgery is indicated

    - Coronary artery disease
    - Mitral valve regurgitation/stenosis
    - Atrial septal defect

FAQs

  • What is the Robotic Surgical System?

    It is a system consisting of three parts:
    Surgeon Console is the control centre where your surgeon sits to perform the operation.
    Patient Cart holds the camera and surgical instruments your surge on controls from the console.
    Vision Cart manages the communication between all the system components and provides a screen for the care team to view the operation.

  • Why is your surgeon suggesting Robotic Assisted Surgery?

    Surgical Robotic Systems have been widely adopted by surgeons and benefited millions of patients. More than 8.0 million robotic-assisted procedures have taken place worldwide, roughly, every 26 seconds, a patient somewhere in the world gets operated through Robotic Assisted Surgeries.

    Just as technology, such as MRI and CT scanners enhance clinicians’ skills beyond what the human body allows, RAS system extends the capabilities of a surgeon’s eyes and hands. With RAS your surgeon:
    • Stays with you in the operating room and uses his or her hands to control a camera and surgical instruments to perform the procedure.
    • Views the entire operation in 3-dimensional high definition (3DHD), giving your surgeon a crystal- clear view of the surgical area that is magnified 10 times to what the human eye sees.
    • Uses tiny instruments that move like a human hand but with an even greater range of motion. The system’s built-in tremor-filtration technology helps your surgeon to move each instrument with smooth precision.
    By providing surgeons with superior visualization, enhanced dexterity, greater precision and ergonomic comfort, Robotic surgical systems make it possible for skilled surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures involving complex dissection or reconstruction.

  • Which type of robot is used for robotic surgery?

    Fortis Hospitals boasts of highly advanced, latest 4th generation robotic surgery system - the DaVinci Robotic platform.
