Gujrat: Nadiad will soon have a da vinci robot surgeon worth
10 crore which will be conducting urology surgeries. The robot will not only have superfine precision, but will also less than halve the post operation recovery time, according to Rediff.
A non-profit 170-bed charitable hospital run by the Muljibhai Patel Society for Research in Nephro-Urology, the Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital, popularly known as Nadiad Kidney Hospital, is planning to buy the
10 crore (
100 million) da Vinci robot, a four-armed US made model for intricate prostate and kidney surgeries.

"We have always tried to adopt new technology, and would not like to deprive our patients of the new-age surgical experience that definitely comes with numerous advantages," said Mahesh Desai, Managing trustee and Chairman, Department of urology at the Nadiad Kidney Hospital.
Desai points out the advantage and says, "In a computer assisted surgery, a doctor can sit at a remote place and conduct live surgery. Only recently, a doctor in New York did a surgery on a patient in Paris. In a hospital set up, an experienced doctor can preside over two or three simultaneous operations from his chamber while young doctors could man the operation table together with the robot."
Nadiad Kideny hospital is planning to extend the services of the robot to other surgical fields apart from urology, like paediatrics, gynaecology and oncology to make the service cost-effective.
"We already conduct uro-oncological paediatric urological surgeries, we can now think of offering the service to some gynaecological clinics, or can start a uro-gynaeocology department ourselves", Desai said.
However, he will have to shell out around 25 times more for a robotic surgery that can cost around
500,000 per surgery.
