Paediatric Robotic Surgery will now be available at Apollo Hospitals Kolkata. This was announced at a press conference in the presence of Dr. Debasish Mitra, Paediatric Robotic Surgeon at Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata, and Dr. Surinder Singh Bhatia, DMS, Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata.

With this initiative, the hospital will be revolutionizing the way different kinds of surgeries are performed on kids. With pediatric robotic surgery, the kids will have to ensure less pain and recover quickly and there will be great precision when undergoing the surgery.

Robotic surgery has great benefits like the 36-degree movement of the robotic arm that mimics human hand movements and allows the most accurate localization of diseases.

One of their success stories includes robot-assisted surgery for removing a choledochal cyst of a two-year-old child. With the use of robotic surgery, the vital structures of the kid could be preserved. The child was discharged after 7 days.

Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata has been performing robotic surgeries in pediatric cases including conditions affecting the lungs, kidneys, and appendix.

Apollo Multispeciality Hospitals, Kolkata will be setting benchmarks in pediatric healthcare with the introduction of pediatric robotic surgery.
