Robotic Surgery Milestone: 500+ Cancer Procedures Completed
2 Oct
Summary
- Hospital marks over 500 robotic cancer surgeries milestone.
- Robotic surgery enhances precision in confined anatomical spaces.
- Advanced care brings high-quality cancer treatment closer to patients.

The Mahatma Gandhi Cancer Hospital & Research Institute (MGCHRI) has reached a notable milestone, successfully performing over 500 robotic cancer surgeries. This achievement highlights the institution's dedication to providing advanced, patient-focused medical care.
Dr. Murali Krishna Voonna, Managing Director and Chief Surgical Oncologist, stated that the integration of their robotic surgery unit has enabled a combination of precision and multidisciplinary expertise. This approach ensures patients receive high-quality cancer care within their local region.
Examples of these complex procedures include robotic adrenalectomy for severe hypertension and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for residual testicular cancer. The enhanced visualization and instrument control offered by robotic systems are crucial for operating in tight spaces near vital blood vessels.
