Bengaluru-based HealthCare Global Enterprises Limited (HCG) has collaborated with Intuitive to augment the accessibility of new-age surgical technology and robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), across India, including non-metro cities.

As a part of that, the hospital begins to install the 4^th Gen Da Vinci surgical robot by US-based Intuitive in Mumbai, Kolkata, and a few other cities to make this technology accessible to a wider population in India. The leading cancer hospital chain has expanded its network, further yielding fruitful results with better clinical outcomes from their existing robotic-assisted surgery units in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad.

Since the inception of HCG’s cancer centre network in 1989, the company has been taking remarkable steps towards breakthroughs in cancer treatment and diagnosis, which includes immunotherapy as well as advanced screening techniques, all to envision a world without the fear of cancer. Now with the collaboration with Intuitive, HCG is striving towards attaining the best possible clinical outcome for patients across the length and breadth of the country.

The joint effort of HCG and Intuitive Surgical will not only make this advanced surgical technology available to a larger community of beneficiaries but also drive familiarisation and awareness about RAS to the medical fraternity across India, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

The Da Vinci technology, known for its better patient outcomes, is also associated with lesser pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and even minimal post-operative complications in certain cases. In addition to that, Da Vinci brings across some innovative features, including voice and laser guidance systems, a lightweight endoscope, and the same control console and 3D optics system that lets surgeons see into the patients as they operate the device.
