KIMS Hospital Installs Next Generation Da Vinci Si Surgical Robotic System

Hyderabad: The Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS Hospitals) announced the installation of next generation upgraded surgical robotic system da Vinci Si Model in its facility at Secunderabad. With its first Da Vinci robot setup in 2011, KIMS Hospitals has completed 700 surgeries. Now, the hospital has installed the next generation Da Vinci Si Model at a cost of two million USD. Currently, eight trained doctors in six medical specializations including Oncology, Gynecology, Urology, ENT, Gastroenterology and General Surgery at KIMS are performing robotics surgeries.

New da Vinci Si includes several features:

1. Dual-console capability to support training and collaboration during minimally invasive surgery.


2. Enhanced high-definition 3D vision for superior clinical capability


3. An updated user interface for streamlined setup and OR(operating room) turnover


4. Extensibility for digital OR integration

Dr Bhaskar Rao, CEO & MD, KIMS Hospitals said, “with increased awareness among our patients, we felt the need of acquiring latest Si model of da Vinci Robotic System in place of our old SD Model Robotic System acquired in 2011, for giving better care and to perform more complex surgical procedures, which otherwise not possible with laparoscopy. In last six years, KIMS Hospitals has come a long way in learning and mastering the robotic machine and technology by its clinical applications in the successful outcome of 700 procedures.”
