Building Capacity for Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Preparing for the Next Generation of Surgery
General Surgery and Urology at SMS Medical College were identified as strong surgical departments, while robotic-assisted surgery was recognised as an important technology for the institution’s future development.
The institutional plan highlighted the potential of robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery to support greater precision, smaller incisions and faster recovery in appropriate procedures.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery – Technology & Training
Hands-on Exposure to Robotic Surgery
In May 2022, the Department of Urology at SMS Medical College collaborated with Intuitive India for a four-day hands-on robotic-assisted surgery workshop using the Da Vinci Xi system. The programme introduced surgeons and residents to robotic-assisted surgery, its clinical applications and simulation-based training.
