Robotic surgery represents the leading edge of minimally invasive surgical technique. By amplifying surgeon skill with 3D high-definition vision and precisely controlled robotic instruments, it allows complex operations through tiny incisions that would otherwise require large open cuts. At Charak Hospital, our robotic surgery programme covers cancer surgery, gynaecological surgery, urological surgery, and general surgery — offering patients the benefits of advanced technology with experienced hands.
How Robotic Surgery Works
The surgeon sits at an ergonomic console viewing a 3D, 10× magnified image of the surgical field. Hand movements are translated in real-time to the robotic arms inside the patient, with motion scaling and tremor elimination. Small incisions (typically 5–12 mm) allow the robotic instruments to enter the body. A skilled assistant at the operating table manages instrument exchange and assists as needed.
Procedures Performed Robotically
Urology
- Radical prostatectomy (prostate cancer)
- Partial / radical nephrectomy (kidney tumour)
- Pyeloplasty (kidney-ureter junction repair)
- Cystectomy (bladder cancer)
Gynaecology
- Radical / total hysterectomy
- Myomectomy (fibroid removal)
- Endometriosis surgery
- Pelvic floor repair
Colorectal & General Surgery
- Low anterior resection (rectal cancer)
- Right / left hemicolectomy (colon cancer)
- Inguinal / ventral hernia repair
- Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass / sleeve)
Benefits of Robotic Surgery at a Glance
- Smaller incisions — less scarring
- Reduced blood loss
- Lower infection risk
- Less post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stay (1–3 days)
- Faster return to daily activities
- Better surgical precision for cancer clearance
- Superior ergonomics for complex anatomy
Is Robotic Surgery Right for You?
Not all conditions or patients are suitable for robotic surgery. Your surgeon will assess your specific diagnosis, anatomy, and medical fitness to recommend the best surgical approach — open, laparoscopic, or robotic. Book a consultation to discuss your options.
