Robotic surgeries gaining acceptance among patients, surgeons in India Updated: Updated: Net cost to remain the same as traditional procedures Share Article Net cost to remain the same as traditional procedures Robotic assisted surgeries (RAS) seem to be gaining some acceptance among surgeons and patients in India. RAS helps doctors perform complex surgeries with ease, reduces the size of surgical incisions, minimises blood loss, cuts pain and shortens patient’s post-procedure recovery time, claim surgical robotic systems manufacturers and surgeons who conduct operations on these machines. In addition, RAS facilitates better visualisation (of the body part under surgery), enhances dexterity and greater precision and thereby delivers better clinical outcomes especially for patients who are undergoing procedures for oncology, thyroid, liver, gynaecologic cancers (cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal and vulvar) and urology, according to medical professionals.
