"Shorter hospital stays for patients because of robotic surgery will make healthcare facilities accessible to more patients needing life-saving surgery and organ transplant," added Dr Bhandari, Vattikuti Foundation's CEO. The training centre will offer a broad spectrum of training to enhance the knowledge and skill set in RAS, ranging from basic skills training to procedural training to more advanced and specialised areas in soft-tissue surgery.Īccording to Dr Mahendra Bhandari, Director, Robotic Research and Education, Vattikuti Urology Institute, Henry Ford Hospital in the US, the AIIMS New Delhi setting up a training facility for training surgeons to become adept at robotic surgery is indeed heart-warming because the arrival of surgical robots has advanced the practice of surgery significantly in this millennium. RAS is an emerging medical technology that can help standardise surgical procedures and enable surgeons to perform complex surgeries. "This initiative will pave the way for surgeons to progress from open and laparoscopic surgery to advanced RAS and shorten their learning curve to master robotic techniques," Bajpai added. "Together, we will make training and education on the latest technology more accessible and enhance the skill sets of both current and the next generation of surgeons," said Michael Blackwell, Vice President and Managing Director, Medtronic India.ĭr Minu Bajpai, HOD of Paediatric Surgery and Dean Academics, AIIMS, said that surgical robotics and artificial intelligence are already changing how surgical care is delivered. It is the first such centre at AIIMS utilising Medtronic's Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system, which was first introduced in India in September 2021. The centre will provide surgeons with best-in-class training in robotic-assisted surgery. The new robotic surgery training centre at AIIMS Delhi will provide much-needed robotic surgery skills to hundreds of surgeons who can deliver better patient outcomes by increasing access to high-quality medical care and reducing costs, experts said on Saturday.ĪIIMS New Delhi and India Medtronic Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medtronic, announced the opening of a state-of-the-art surgical robotics training centre at the nation's premier healthcare destination this week.
