Is Robotic Heart Surgery available in Delhi?
Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket is equipped with the latest da Vinci robotic system for advanced minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Under the expertise of Dr. Aditya Kumar Singh, a highly experienced minimally invasive and robotic heart surgeon, complex procedures are performed through small keyhole incisions with exceptional precision. The da Vinci platform offers 3D magnified vision, tremor-free movements, and superior surgical control, fully directed by the surgeon. Patients benefit from less pain, minimal blood loss, lower infection risk, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stay, while achieving outcomes comparable to conventional open-heart surgery.
FAQ
Q: What is robotic heart surgery?
A: Robotic heart surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive heart surgery where the surgeon uses a robotic system (such as the da Vinci robot) to perform complex heart procedures through small keyhole incisions. The robot enhances the surgeon’s precision, vision, and control but does not act independently.
Q: Is robotic heart surgery safe?
A: Yes. Robotic heart surgery is considered safe when performed in carefully selected patients by an experienced cardiac surgeon. Studies have shown outcomes comparable to, and in many cases better than, traditional open-heart surgery, with added benefits such as less pain, reduced blood loss, lower infection risk, and faster recovery.
Q: Does the robot operate on its own?
A: No. The robot does not perform surgery on its own. Every movement of the robotic arms is fully controlled by the surgeon in real time. The robotic system simply translates the surgeon’s hand movements into highly precise, tremor-free actions inside the chest.
Q: Robotic heart surgery vs open-heart surgery — what is the difference?
A: In open-heart surgery, the chest bone (sternum) is cut to access the heart. In robotic heart surgery, procedures are performed through small incisions without cutting the breastbone in most cases. This results in less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and quicker return to normal activities, while maintaining surgical effectiveness.
