Medica Superspecialty Hospital (the largest private hospital chain in Eastern India) through their newly set up Oncology Department, providing world-class cancer treatment at Kolkata, achieved yet another momentous feat on a 74-year-old Kidney Cancer patient who could not be operated on in traditional method due to various complications, by conducting robotic surgery with the help of 4th generation Da Vinci X Surgical Robot available at the facility. This minimal invasive, challenging, yet successful operation of a critical patient adds another feather in the cap of the Medica Oncology team led by the Director of Medica Cancer Hospital, Dr. Sourav Dutta.
Septuagenarian Mr. Jasimuddin Laskar (74) hailing from Chatra, Maladari of South 24 Parganas in West Bengal, was operated
Dr. Abhay Kumar (Head – Urology, Surgical Oncology, Robotic Surgery, Medica Cancer Institute, Medica Superspecialty Hospital) on 2 February. It was the first robotic surgery case at Medica Superspecialty Hospital. Upon successful operation, the patient was fit to be discharged the next day.
The extra cost incurred due to consumables specific to robotic surgery was balanced out by minimal hospital stay, very less medications, and no blood transfusion while ensuring the best quality of life after surgery. Medica always believed in using cutting-edge technology with a heart – technology that’s beneficial to patients in terms of reducing hospital stay thus reducing costs, better clinical outcomes, and faster recovery. With such an aim, Medica has now brought on board the 4th Generation Da Vinci X System.
