Manipal Hospital launches SSI Mantra Robotic Surgery System

Team L&M

Taking the patient care to the next level, Manipal Hospital in Baner has launched the SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System, a state-of-the-art system for multispecialty surgeries. This development helps the hospital to expand its offerings by providing extremely accurate and minimally invasive surgical treatments in Cardiac, Thoracic, Oncology, Urology, Gynaecology, and General Surgery.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. Amit Parasnis, Head of The Department & Consultant – Surgical Oncology & Surgery, Manipal Hospital, Baner, Pune, said, “Robotic-assisted surgery offers several advantages, the most important being exceptional accuracy and precision. Surgeries are performed through smaller incisions, with enhanced surgeon mobility and highly controlled movements, leading to better outcomes. The robot’s advanced 3D capabilities, superior to conventional laparoscopy, allow surgeons to zoom in closely for meticulous tissue handling. This results in less pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and overall cost savings for patients. Soon, most laparoscopic surgeries will likely transition to robotic-assisted procedures. Along with enhanced resolution, the robotic system provides the surgeon with improved ergonomic comfort, which leads to better dissection and, eventually, better patient outcomes after surgery.”

Added Dr. Anand Dharsakar, Head of the department Consultant – Urology, “The precision it provides in deep pelvic surgeries or intricate kidney surgeries enables us to achieve better results with less post-operative discomfort. Particularly in complex surgeries, it allows for exceptional precision, smaller incisions, quicker recuperation, and better outcomes. Robotics has come up in a big way in kidney transplantation. ”

Mr. Anand Mote, Cluster Director, Manipal Hospital, Pune, informed the goal at Manipal Hospitals is to provide its patients with the most cutting-edge healthcare innovation available globally. “We have reaffirmed our commitment with the launch of the SSI Mantra robotic system. The platform is designed to help surgeons with enhanced control and with less complications. It features ergonomic controls, 3D 4K imaging, and universal safety systems, supporting a new transformation in the surgical era,” he remarked.
