Manipal Hospital, Vijayawada Partners to Launch Robotics Centre of Excellence for Super-specialty Care

Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada has taken a significant step forward in medical technology with the introduction of the cutting-edge 4th Gen Da Vinci X robotic-assisted surgery unit. The introduction of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgical techniques, allowing surgeons to tackle complex cases with enhanced motion control and superior visual magnification.

Its goal is to overcome the limitations of traditional surgical procedures and to improve the capabilities of surgeons performing complex surgeries. We offer robotic-assisted surgeries in a variety of specialties, including surgical oncology, surgical gastrointestinal, bariatric, urology, thoracic, general surgery, gynaecology, and more. The benefits of robotic-assisted surgery are numerous, including greater precision and control for the surgeon, smaller incisions and less pain during surgery, less blood loss and scarring, and faster post-surgery recovery.

"As we usher in a new era of medical excellence, the launch of robotics-assisted surgery is a groundbreaking milestone for Andhra Pradesh," said Governor S Abdul Nazeer. Manipal Hospitals' groundbreaking innovation represents a significant leap forward in healthcare technology. This transformative endeavour, with robotic precision and innovation at its core, promises to revolutionise surgical care, ensuring superior patient outcomes and positioning Andhra Pradesh at the forefront of medical progress in India."

"We embark on this momentous journey of introducing robotics-assisted surgery across diverse specialties, the first of its kind in Andhra Pradesh," said Dr. Sudarshan Ballal, chairman of Manipal Health Enterprises. We are relentless in our efforts to integrate technology into healthcare services across our hospitals in India. We reaffirm our commitment to providing the best care to our patients with the launch of this revolutionary surgical programme."
