Robotic surgery fast gaining popularity, acceptance: Experts

IANS (19:08)

Mussourie (Uttarakhand), May 9 (IANS) More and more government-run hospitals and cancer institutes are increasingly adopting robotic surgery, experts in the field have said while informing that this reflected the growing acceptance of this form of surgery, which was already popular in many parts of the world. At a recent meet of robotic surgeons in Mussoorie, Ravi Kant, Director and CEO of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh said his institute plans to train over 100 surgeons in robotic surgery over the next few years. "In North India alone there are six surgical robots in use in four of the best-known government hospitals in the region - AIIMS at New Delhi, Rishikesh and Jodhpur; PGI, Chandigarh and Delhi Cancer Society hospital, Delhi" he informed. "Robotic surgery scores over both traditional and laparoscopic surgery because of the precision it brings to complex surgical procedures," he told IANS. Over 120 robotic surgeons had gathered at this picturesque hill station in Uttarakhand at the 10th bi-annual Robotic Surgeons Council meet organized by Vattikuti Foundation. Vattikuti Foundation's remit is to encourage excellence in robotic surgery by encouraging super specialist surgeons by training themselves as accomplished robotic surgeons. The Foundation offers digital training resources besides conducting webinars on robotic surgery, the organizers informed. Experts added that robotic surgery added precision in a surgical procedure which in turn adds tremendous value to patients suffering from cancer of various body organs, soft tissue and tumours. Mahendra Bhandari, CEO, Vattikuti Foundation said the biggest benefit of a patient recovering quickly following a robotic surgery is making available the hospital bed to another needy patient. Indian hospitals have over 65 surgical robots and over 350 trained robotic surgeons. Bhandari who also serves as Director of Research at Vattikuti Urology Institute, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, said Vattikuti Foundation acted as a catalyst in fueling the growth of robotic surgery in the last 7-8 years by helping surgeons to become accomplished in the new technology. Many Indian surgeons have created robotic surgery procedures that have been adopted by surgeons worldwide. The Detroit-based Foundation has so far awarded one-year Vattikuti fellowships to nearly 30 specialist surgeons with post-graduate qualifications in surgery. The Vattikuti fellows master robotic surgery under the mentorship of an experienced surgeon in a hospital as part of this fully-paid fellowship. Since it started on January 26, 2018, the 1,000-bed AIIMS-Rishikesh has already conducted nearly 50 Robotic Surgery procedures in Gynaecology, Urology and general surgery on patients hailing from Uttarakhand.

In December 2017, Pérez Art Museum Miami launched the first fully augmented reality-powered art exhibition. The exhibition was also the first public use of Apple's new ARKit technology in the museum sector, as well as potentially the first "agile" museum exhibition where feedback on initial works of art was used to influence future works that were introduced throughout the duration of the exhibition. Felice Grodin: Invasive Species is a virtually interactive, digital exhibition of commissioned works by Miami-based artist Felice Grodin. The series employs the immersive technology of augmented reality (AR), and is accessible to visitors using iOS devices in PAMM’s outdoor areas and in the Padma and Raj Vattikuti Learning Theater on the museum’s first floor. This AR project is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Influenced by geophilosophy—a field of thought shaped by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that analyzes the relationship between physical and mental territories—Grodin draws on her training as an architect to explore the mutable within landscape, architecture, and her urban surroundings. Felice Grodin: Invasive Species interacts with PAMM’s architecture, evolving and transforming the museum’s environment for the duration of the exhibition. Featuring a total of four digital works, the show launches with two AR site-specific works—Mezzbug and Terrafish (both 2017)—that engage with and virtually enhance the museum’s building. In Terrafish, Grodin overlaps PAMM’s hanging gardens on the waterfront terrace with the translucent body of a digital species she created, which is suggestive of nonnative jellyfish found in South Florida waters. By drawing on the destructive impact of invasive species and creating a new digital environment, Grodin highlights the transformative and unstable state of our ecosystem, speculating about a not-so-distant future affected by climate change and overtaken by uncanny creatures.

Robotic Surgery- India to Become 2nd Largest Market

With the goal of installing 200 more robots and reach over 20,000 robotic-assisted surgeries per year by 2020, US-based Vattikuti Foundation is set to make India the second largest market for robotic surgery in the world after the US, said the non-benefit's top executive here.

"India today has amazing potential and much talent, across all domains especially in the medical area," Raj Vattikuti, Founder, and President of Vattikuti Foundation -- a non-profit advertising robotic surgeries across the world, including in India.

"Thus, it can shortly become the second largest robotics market in the world in terms of sale of robots as well as surgeries."

He was talking at the two-day semiannual "Robotic Surgeons Council", organized by the foundation, which started here on Saturday.

India presently has over 50 surgical robots and a pool of over 300 experienced robotic surgeons and a predicted 700 robotic-assisted surgeries a month are controlled in the country.

"In late 2011, we entered the Indian market with only eight to nine robots and with difficulty any processes. The market recognized the systems to be very costly and surgeons felt that it can take a lot of effort for them to learn and master it," Vattikuti said.

"Now, we have seen an amazing procedure in the condition of robotic surgery in the nation as well as a change of approach in the market. A lot of surgeons is absolutely fascinated by the technology and has appeared forward to learn it."

The foundation, which is expected to install nearly 70 robotic systems, assisting in over 7,000 robotic-assisted surgeries until December this year across India, aims to install 100 robots across India by 2018.

Till now, it has trained 360 surgeons and ambitions to train another 100 in 2018.

"We crave to bring the count to 600 surgeons in the appearing two to three years as well as install 100 robots across India in the next year," Vattikuti said.

Robotic surgery is a technique to perform surgery utilizing very small tools attached to a robotic arm.

With the four-armed "Da Vinci Surgical Robot" advanced by the US-based Intuitive Surgical, tiny instruments are sent in and controlled by a proficient surgeon sitting at a nearby console.

Robotic Surgery offers extensive possibilities in thoracic, urology, gynecological, colorectal, pediatric and general surgical regulations.

Essentially, Vattikuti Foundation has also spread its wings to Tier 2 cities like Coimbatore, Nagpur, Vizag, Indore, and Mohali.

Government hospitals like Army Hospital Delhi, AIIMS Delhi, Delhi Cancer Institute, PGI Chandigarh, have already bought the robots. Others such as AIIMS Jodhpur and Rishikesh as well as Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi are in talks to purchase the creative systems, Vattikuti said.

"We have such an extensive talent in India in terms of the number of surgeons, expertise, government institutes like AIIMS, PGI, Tata Memorial, that we can also be the world leaders in creating a clinical attitude of the robotic surgery," Vattikuti said.

Mahendra Bhandari, CEO of the foundation, told IANS: "With robotic surgeries, our mission was not to insulate the poor and rich. We are happy that the government has shown interest, and are purchasing robots, which can assist the marginalized sections to avail its advantages."

In a surgery controlled by surgical robots, the incision is small, the loss of blood is very minimum, the patient has a rapid recovery, shorter hospital stays and a faster return to usual life.

The surgeon has an aggravated, high-definition, three-dimensional (3-D) view as if sitting inside the patient's body and, with a joystick, wield tiny surgical instruments that enjoy adaptability better than human hands.

These surgeries range from the elimination of cancerous tissues to the reconstruction of organs harmed by cancer as well as the elimination of organs such as the kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, prostate, and uterus.

It is best for obtaining under soft tissue to reach organs that otherwise need opening up connect long and painful recovery durations and leave behind scars.
