What Is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon operates using a highly sophisticated robotic system. The surgeon remains fully in control at all times, guiding the robotic instruments with exceptional precision.

Unlike traditional surgery, robotic surgery offers Enhanced 3D visualization, Greater accuracy and stability, and Better access to deep and complex anatomical areas. The result is safer surgery, faster recovery, and better long-term outcomes, especially for delicate urological and kidney procedures.

Robotic Surgery Technology at AINU Hospitals, Siliguri

AINU Hospitals, Siliguri proudly brings North Bengal’s first comprehensive robotic surgery program, redefining how complex urological and kidney surgeries are performed in the region. We have introduced a next-generation multi-port robotic surgical system designed exclusively for precision-driven minimally invasive surgery.

This advanced platform offers high-definition 3D imaging with exceptional clarity, tremor-free instrument movement for steady and controlled surgery, and wristed instruments that replicate and enhance natural hand movements. This technology is particularly effective for complex reconstructions, uro-oncology procedures, and kidney-preserving surgeries, where precision is critical.

Advanced care is now closer to home; backed by expertise, technology, and trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which surgeons utilise advanced robotic systems to perform procedures with enhanced precision, control, and visualisation.

Yes. Robotic surgery is extremely safe when performed by trained specialists. It enables better accuracy, reduces complications, and facilitates faster recovery.

Patients requiring complex urological, kidney, prostate, or reconstructive procedures may benefit. Final suitability is determined after medical evaluation.

Most patients recover faster compared to open surgery, often returning to normal activities sooner with shorter hospital stays.

While robotic surgery may have a higher upfront cost, it often reduces overall expenses by lowering hospital stay duration and complications.

Most insurance policies cover robotic surgery. Coverage depends on the procedure and policy terms.

Yes. Robotic surgeries are performed by experienced specialists supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary care team.
