Hon’ble Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Tamil Nadu Thiru. Ma.Subramanian inaugurated CMR’s Versius Robotic Surgical System at SIMS Hospital, Vadapalani
· To offer efficient and affordable minimally invasive robotic surgical procedures for patients
Chennai, Oct. 5, 2022
In an endeavour to provide affordable robotic minimal access surgery and make a difference in the lives of more people, SIMS Hospital (SRM Institutes for Medical Science), one of the leading multi-specialty hospitals in the city, launched Versius Robotic Surgical System at its Vadapalani facility.
Inaugurated by Hon’ble Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Tamil Nadu, Thiru. Ma. Subramanian in the presence of Dr. Ravi Pachamuthu, Chairman SRM Group, the new Robotic Surgical System will be a great boon for both the medical care team and the patients, alike. From being cost-effective and affordable, to being less painful with minimal invasion, scarring and bleeding, to facilitating speedy recovery for the patients with shorter hospital stay, so as to resume their normal activities, these robotic surgical interventions have many advantages over the traditional open surgical procedures.
Sharing about the advantages of Robotic Surgeries Dr Patta Radhakrishnan, Director & Senior Consultant – Surgical Gastroenterology Institute of Gastroenterology | Hepatobiliary Science and Transplantation at SIMS, said, “The NEXT generation Surgical robot is backed by Artificial intelligence & machine learning that empowers the surgeons to operate through one or a few small incisions in place of a large incision as with traditional open surgeries. The system delivers a highly magnified 3 D high-definition optical view of the surgical area that helps in in-depth analysis of the problem area and aids in precision surgery. It facilitates surgeon’s hand movements at the console in real time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure. These kinds of robotic surgical interventions not only help in treating patients with shorter recovery periods but also improve their quality-of-life post-surgery.
