Fortis, Gurgaon performs surgery using Advanced Robotic Surgical Technology

The first surgery was performed by Dr. Gogoi on a 35-year-old patient from Congo, Central Africa. She had Yousuf's Syndrome, a condition where due to complications from previous caesarean sections, an anomalous fistulous communication had formed between the uterus and the urinary bladder. This had led to menstrual bleeding draining into the bladder, leading to cyclical hematuria and repeated infections. Occasionally she also had urinary incontinence, as urine would flow into the uterus and leak out.

Dr. Gogoi added, "Previous medical consultations and reviews had all pointed towards a hysterectomy. However, she was not willing to undergo the procedure for removal of the uterus. With our robotic surgery programme, we not only managed to separate the fistula that had formed between the two organs, but also saved her from a hysterectomy. Surgeons at FMRI are currently utilising advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for all surgical specialities."

"This latest technology at FMRI will be available to surgeons stationed at other NCR facilities within the Fortis network to carry out a wide range of surgical procedures," added Mr Jasdeep Singh, Zonal Director, FMRI.
