Dharamshila Narayana hospital achieves breakthrough in robotic pancreatic surgery
In a demonstration of advanced surgical capabilities, surgeons at Dharamshila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital have successfully performed a complex robotic pancreatic surgery, showcasing the hospital's commitment to cutting-edge medical care.
Dr. Kapil Kumar Kursiwal and Dr. Sachin Jain from the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, GI Oncology, Minimal Access & Bariatric Surgery have successfully performed a robotic Frey's procedure (lateral pancreatico-jejunostomy) on a 44-year-old patient suffering from chronic pancreatitis. This sophisticated procedure, traditionally performed through open surgery, was completed using state-of-the-art robotic technology, demonstrating the hospital's expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
"This successful surgery represents a significant advancement in treating complex gastrointestinal conditions," said Dr. Kapil Kumar, Senior Consultant and Lead of the surgical team. "By utilizing robotic assistance we achieved unprecedented precision and control, resulting in better outcomes for our patient."
The patient, who had experienced severe abdominal pain requiring multiple hospitalisations over six months, showed remarkable recovery following this surgery. Despite the complexity of the procedure, which traditionally would have required extensive recovery time, the patient was able to begin walking on the first postoperative day and was discharged within four days.
Key highlights of the case:
- Advanced robotic surgical approach for complex pancreatic surgery
- Minimally invasive technique for a traditionally open procedure
- Rapid patient recovery with early mobilisation
- Significantly reduced hospital stay
- Enhanced surgical precision through robotic assistance
This achievement underscores Dharamshila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital's position as a centre of medical excellence in India. The hospital's investment in advanced robotic surgical systems, combined with its expert medical team, enables the treatment of complex cases with improved outcomes and faster recovery times.
The success of this procedure opens new possibilities for patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis and other complex gastrointestinal conditions, offering hope for better treatment options with reduced recovery times and improved quality of life.
