The largest private hospital chain in Eastern India, Medica Superspecialty Hospital, through their newly set up Oncology Department, provides world-class cancer treatment at Kolkata. It achieved yet another momentous feat on a 74-year-old Kidney Cancer patient who could not be operated on in the traditional method due to various complications, by conducting robotic surgery with the help of the 4th generation Da Vinci X Surgical Robot available at the facility.
The minimal invasive, challenging, yet successful operation of a critical patient adds another feather in the cap of the Medica Oncology team led by Dr. Sourav Dutta, Director Medica Cancer Hospital.
Mr. Jasimuddin Laskar (74) hailing from Chatra, Maladari, South 24 Parganas (West Bengal) was operated Dr. Abhay Kumar, Head – Urology, Surgical Oncology, Robotic Surgery, Medica Cancer Institute, Medica Superspecialty Hospital on 2nd February, the first robotic surgery case at Medica Superspecialty Hospital. Upon successful operation, he 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. Noteworthy, 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.
