Robotic Surgery
Overview
Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a type of minimally invasive surgery that utilizes robotic technology to aid in surgical procedures. Instead of a surgeon operating directly on a patient, they control robotic arms that have tiny surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon uses a console that provides a high-definition, 3D view of the surgical area, and the robotic arms mimic the surgeon’s movements, providing greater precision and control. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why robotic surgery is used, the advantages it offers, and its various uses.
Why Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery was first introduced in the early 2000s as a way to assist surgeons in performing complex surgical procedures. The technology was initially used in a few select areas, such as prostate surgery, but it has since expanded to include a wide range of procedures across various medical specialties. Robotic surgery is often used when traditional surgery is not an option due to a patient’s health condition or when the surgeon needs greater precision and control during the procedure.
Advantages of Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery offers several advantages over traditional surgery, including:
Minimally invasive: Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, meaning that it involves smaller incisions than traditional surgery. This leads to less pain, scarring, and a shorter recovery time.
Greater precision: The robotic arms used in robotic surgery offer greater precision and control than a surgeon’s hands alone. This leads to less damage to surrounding tissues and a reduced risk of complications.
3D visualization: The surgeon controls the robotic arms from a console that provides a 3D view of the surgical area. This allows the surgeon to see the area in greater detail than traditional surgery.
Reduced blood loss: The precision of robotic surgery leads to less blood loss during the procedure.
Shorter hospital stay: Patients who undergo robotic surgery typically have a shorter hospital stay than those who undergo traditional surgery.
Uses of Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is used across various medical specialties, including:
- General surgery: Robotic surgery is used in procedures such as hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and colon surgery.
- Gastroentestinal Surgery: Robotic surgery is useful in intestinal , Liver & Billiary Tract diseases.
- Urology: Robotic surgery is often used in prostate surgery, kidney surgery, and bladder surgery.
- Gynecology: Robotic surgery is used in hysterectomy, myomectomy, and other gynecological procedures.
- Cardiothoracic surgery: Robotic surgery is used in heart surgery, lung surgery, and other cardiothoracic procedures.

Reviews are crucial as they help potential customers make informed decisions about a product or service. Positive reviews can increase trust and credibility, while negative reviews can highlight areas for improvement. Regularly monitoring and responding to reviews can also improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
I visited 4 doctors/surgeons and i was freaking out about the surgery given my weight but Dr. Kumar was gentle and helped me get my confidence back and brave up for the surgery. I was walking the same day of surgery. Dr. Kumar Thank you so much. The world needs more doctors like you!

I got to know about Dr. Prashant From a doctor friend who advised me to approach him after knowing my condition. I got recently diagnosed with multiple gallstones and had bad episode of unbearable pain due to same. I met Dr. Prashant who was very humble and patient with my situation, he advised me to go for Cholecystectomy ( Gall bladder removal surgery). Had multiple thoughts he helped me and guided me with each step of the procedure in detail and I knew I was in good hands.

I have known Dr Prashant Kumar for over a decade as a surgeon as well as a colleague. Medical professionals say that no one else can judge a surgeon better than an anesthesiologist. Being one myself, I cannot vouch for Dr Prashant any further than by asserting the fact that I got myself operated by him 10 days back with full confidence and faith in him. As a personality, he is a gem of a person, very kind, helpful, and caring. As an anesthesiologist and a patient, I totally recommend him for any surgical consultation! 🙂
