Robotic-Assisted Gynaecological Surgery

Precision Technology. Experienced Hands. Carefully Selected Use.

Robotic-assisted surgery represents an evolution in minimally invasive gynecological surgery, offering enhanced precision and control in selected complex cases.

Dr. Ritika Gupta offers robotic-assisted gynaecological surgery using the da Vinci Robotic System, combining advanced technology with sound surgical judgment to achieve safe and effective outcomes — always prioritising patient benefit over routine use.

WHAT IS ROBOTIC-ASSISTED SURGERY?

Robotic-assisted surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon operates using a computer-enhanced robotic platform.

Using the da Vinci Robotic System, the surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, translating hand movements into highly precise, scaled motions inside the patient’s body.

It is important to note:
The surgeon performs the surgery — the robot does not act independently.

THE da VINCI ROBOTIC SYSTEM

The da Vinci system enhances surgical capability through:

  • 3D high-definition, magnified vision
  • Wrist-like instrument movement (360° articulation)
  • Tremor filtration for steady precision
  • Improved ergonomics for delicate, complex procedures

These features allow greater accuracy in confined or anatomically challenging areas.

WHEN IS ROBOTIC SURGERY BENEFICIAL?

Robotic-assisted surgery is not required for all patients.
It is recommended selectively, particularly in cases such as:

  • Large or multiple fibroids
  • Severe or deeply infiltrating endometriosis
  • Complex hysterectomies
  • Redo or surgically difficult cases
  • Patients where precision is critical to preserve surrounding structures

The choice of robotic surgery is made only when it offers a clear clinical advantage over standard laparoscopy.

ADVANTAGES FOR PATIENTS (WHEN APPROPRIATELY SELECTED)

Greater surgical precision

Better control in complex anatomy

Minimal blood loss

Reduced tissue trauma

Faster recovery compared to open surgery

Improved outcomes in selected cases

SAFETY & SURGICAL JUDGMENT

Technology alone does not ensure safety.

Dr. Ritika emphasises:

  • Careful patient selection
  • Thorough pre-operative counselling
  • Clear explanation of benefits and limitations
  • Avoidance of robotic surgery when laparoscopy is equally effective

This ensures that technology serves the patient — not the other way around.

HOSPITAL & INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT

Robotic-assisted procedures are performed at Park Grecian Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, supported by:

  • Advanced robotic operation theatre infrastructure
  • Experienced anaesthesia and surgical teams
  • Comprehensive post-operative monitoring
  • Emergency and intensive care support

WHY PATIENTS TRUST THIS APPROACH

  • Expertise in both laparoscopic and robotic surgery
  • Conservative, ethically guided use of technology
  • Clear counselling and informed consent
  • Focus on long-term outcomes, not novelty
  • Trusted by patients across Mohali, Chandigarh & Panchkula

Considering Robotic Surgery?

If you have a complex gynecological condition or have been advised robotic surgery, an expert opinion is essential to determine whether it is truly beneficial.
