Robotic GI Surgery using the latest robotic surgical system (Da Vinci X)
Using advanced robotic technology, the Da Vinci Surgical System allows surgeons to perform complex GI surgeries with enhanced accuracy and flexibility, resulting in faster recovery. This minimally invasive approach minimises scarring and reduces the risk of complications, enabling the patients to resume their normal activities quickly. At CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, we bring cutting-edge robotic surgery to ensure the best possible outcomes for your GI health.
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeries for conditions such as gallstones, appendicitis, hernias, acid reflux, and GI cancer
Laparoscopic surgery is a safe, effective alternative to traditional open surgery. Advanced laparoscopic surgeries offer minimally invasive solutions for conditions like gallstones, appendicitis, hernias, acid reflux, and gastrointestinal cancer. These procedures use small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimising pain.
GI Cancer Treatment for oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, and anal canal, including:
Non-Cancerous Diseases including stones, biliary stricture, liver cysts, and abscesses
Portal Hypertension and spleno-renal shunts
Portal hypertension is a condition where there is increased blood pressure in the portal vein, often due to liver disease, leading to complications like bleeding and fluid accumulation. Spleno-renal shunt surgery is an advanced treatment option, creating a new pathway for blood to flow from the spleen to the kidney, bypassing the high-pressure portal system. This procedure helps reduce symptoms and risks associated with portal hypertension.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
- Robotic/Laparoscopic ileal J-pouch and anal anastomosis
Obesity Surgery: Robotic/Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy (a type of obesity surgery) is a procedure in which a portion of the stomach is removed, reducing its size and limiting food intake. It is an effective solution for significant, long-term weight loss. Robotic and laparoscopic techniques for sleeve gastrectomy ensure precision, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring. This surgery can lead to improved health and reduced risks of obesity-related conditions.
Liver Transplant (cadaveric and live-related)
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased or failing liver with a healthy liver obtained from a donor (living or cadaveric) for individuals with end-stage liver disease. With a dedicated team of experts and advanced technology, we ensure a safe, streamlined transplant process. Our approach prioritises patient safety, faster recovery, and comprehensive post-operative care. Whether from a living or deceased donor, each transplant is handled with the highest standards of precision.

FAQ's
Who operates the robot: the robot or the surgeon?
In robotic-assisted surgery, the surgeon operates the robot. The surgeon controls the robotic system from a console, using advanced instruments and cameras to perform the surgery with enhanced precision, while the robot acts as an extension of the surgeon's hands. The robot helps in providing better dexterity, vision, and access, but the surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure.
Is robotic surgery costly or cheap?
Robotic surgery is cost-effective as it reduces the length of hospital stay and the risk of complications.
Is robotic surgery safe?
Yes, it is safe due to its high precision, 3D visualization, reduced infection risk, and less blood loss.
Is robotic surgery better than laparoscopy?
Robotic surgery offers more advantages than traditional laparoscopy, such as enhanced precision, better dexterity, and a clearer view of the surgical site. However, your doctor is the best person to determine which procedure suits you based on your specific condition and needs.
Is liver transplant successful?
Liver transplant can be highly successful, with many patients experiencing significant improvements in their quality of life and overall health. However, the success of the transplant depends on various factors such as the patient's overall health, the condition of the liver prior to transplant, and the care provided post-surgery. Your doctor will guide you through the process and provide the best plan for your individual case.
Is liver transplant very costly?
Liver transplantation is costly due to the complexity of the procedure, the high level of medical expertise required, extensive post-operative ICU care, pre-transplant evaluation, donor organ requirements, and long-term immunosuppressive treatment.
Is liver transplant safe?
Yes, liver transplant has a high success rate. It is a life-saving procedure that provides long-term survival and an improved quality of life.
