Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Doctors use robotic surgery to remove complex tumor between woman's bladder, uterus

New Delhi: In a delicate surgical procedure, doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital were able to remove a complex tumor located between a young woman's bladder and uterus, using cutting-edge robotic technology.   

The patient, Mrs.sunita had recently gotten married and was hoping to start a family, making the successful surgery all the more critical.

Mrs. Sunita first came to the Sir Gangaram hospital with minimal urinary issues and decided to get an ultrasound to ensure everything was normal. To her surprise, the scan revealed a sizeable 6x5x4 cm tumor in the pocket between her bladder and uterus. Understandably anxious about the implications for her fertility, Mrs.Sunita underwent further testing including a CT scan and MRI.

Dr Vipin Tyagi, lead surgeon, said, "The challenges in this surgery were immense," explained the lead surgeon. "We had to remove the tumor without affecting the uterus, bladder, or ureter, all while avoiding a large incision that could complicate the patient's future pregnancy plans."

To tackle this complex procedure, Dr Vipin Tyagi senior Consultant Department of Urology and Coordinator, Robotic surgery and Dr Ankit Tyagi Associate Consultant, Department of Urology, opted for a robotic-assisted surgery. The advanced robotic system allowed for unparalleled precision, flexibility, and control throughout the delicate operation. Using small incisions, the surgeons were able to maneuver the mechanical arms and instruments to carefully dissect and extract the tumor in its entirety.

"The robotic technology was essential in accessing this difficult pocket between the organs and removing the tumor without any collateral damage," the surgeon noted. "The 3D visualization and versatile instruments gave us the level of control needed to protect the uterus and other critical structures."

Following the successful surgery, Mrs Sunita had a smooth recovery and was discharged from the hospital just two days later, relieved to have the tumor removed and her fertility preserved. The team at Sir Gangaram hospital is hopeful that Mrs. Sunita will now be able to pursue her dream of starting a family.
