Robotic Surgery in Kolkata

Understanding robotic surgery

Robotic surgery is performed with robotic-assisted technology. The surgeon controls the robotic arms for enhanced precision, working through small incisions to keep tissue damage to a minimum.

Who robotic surgery may suit

Robotic repair can help in complex or recurrent hernias. Dr Ray will advise whether robotic surgery is right for your condition and your health.

Operations performed robotically

• Robotic hernia repairA minimally invasive hernia repair using robotic assistance, with mesh placed to strengthen the abdominal wall.
• Robotic cholecystectomyA modern minimally invasive procedure that removes the gallbladder using robotic technology.

Robotic or laparoscopic surgery?

Both are minimally invasive. Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision and visualisation, which can help in complex cases. The right choice depends on your condition and your health.
