Apollo Hospitals Pune Performs First Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Apollo Hospitals Pune has performed its first robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System. This minimally invasive procedure involves small incisions and offers precise control and enhanced visualization, reducing surgical trauma. The first patient, a 67-year-old man with triple vessel coronary artery disease, recovered smoothly and was discharged on the fourth day. Since then, six additional robotic-assisted bypass surgeries have been successfully completed at the hospital.
