Revolutionary robotic technology in gynaecological procedures has set a new benchmark for precision, safety, and efficiency in women’s healthcare. In a landmark achievement for Indian healthcare, Dr. Manjula Anagani, Padma Shri Awardee, Clinical Director, Robotic Gynecologist & HOD, Care Vatsalya, Women and Child Institute, CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, has completed 20 successful robotic-assisted surgeries using the Hugo™ RAS system, advancing women’s healthcare and transforming surgical outcomes.

This breakthrough signals a transformative shift in gynaecological surgery. Traditionally reliant on conventional surgical methods, robotic technology is now revolutionizing how surgeries are performed.

Robotic-assisted surgery plays a crucial role in complex gynaecological procedures, particularly in cases involving severe endometriosis, fibroids, and oncological surgeries. The Hugo™ RAS system provides enhanced dexterity, better visualization, and reduced blood loss, allowing surgeons to operate with flexibility, precision, greater accuracy, minimizing complications, and improving overall patient safety.

Speaking on the impact of this technology, Dr. Manjula Anagani said, “The future of gynaecological surgery lies in technological advancements that enhance precision, safety, and patient comfort. Medtronic’s Hugo™ RAS system is a game-changer, allowing us to perform complex procedures with unparalleled accuracy. It significantly improves patient outcomes, making surgeries less invasive and recovery times much shorter. This is the direction in which modern medicine is heading, and I am proud to be part of this evolution.”

Robotic-assisted surgery in gynaecology offers numerous advantages, significantly enhancing patient outcomes and surgical efficiency. As a minimally invasive technique, it involves smaller incisions, leading to reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times. The robotic arms provide enhanced precision, offering better control and stability, crucial for intricate surgical procedures. This advanced technology also contributes to shorter hospital stays and lowers the risk of infection by enabling precise movements that reduce trauma to surrounding tissues. Overall, this innovation results in improved healing and superior surgical outcomes, making it a game-changer in gynaecological procedures.

Mr. Biju Nair, Zonal COO of CARE Hospitals, emphasized the significance of this achievement: “The integration of robotic-assisted surgery in gynecological care is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence at CARE Hospital Banjara Hills. Guided by pioneers like Dr. Anagani, we are not only enhancing patient outcomes but also shaping the future of surgical care with quiet confidence and purposeful progress.”
