Apollo Hospitals, Chennai carried out Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymphadenectomy (VEIL), a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgical procedure, on a affected person with penile most cancers utilizing the Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgical procedure (RAS) system by means of a lateral method. The 40-year-old affected person made an uneventful restoration with out main postoperative issues.
The lateral method permits the surgeon to entry the inguinal lymph nodes from the facet of the thigh as a substitute of a standard midline incision, making the process much less invasive. Inguinal lymph node dissection is usually carried out for cancers corresponding to penile, vulvar, and vaginal cancers and is historically carried out by means of open surgical procedure, which may result in wound-related issues and lymphatic leakage.
Robotic VEIL know-how makes use of small incisions, robotic precision devices, and enhanced visualization to scale back tissue injury and enhance restoration outcomes.
Apollo Hospitals is at present increasing its use of the Hugo RAS platform throughout its whole spectrum of urological oncology surgical procedure, together with prostate, kidney and bladder cancers.
The crew comprised Mr. Ilankumaran Kaliamoorthy, CEO of Apollo Hospitals, Chennai area, Mr. N. Raghavan, Senior Advisor, Urologist, Urinary Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, and Mr. Madhav Tiwari, Advisor Urologist, Urologist, Urinary Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon, Apollo Specialist Hospital Teinampet, Chennai, centered on bettering restoration outcomes with Robotic VEIL.
