Aster DM Healthcare Accelerates Robotic Surgery Expansion Across India


Aster DM Healthcare Accelerates Robotic Surgery Expansion Across India
  • Aster rapidly expands robotic-assisted surgeries across major and regional hospitals.
  • New specialties include transplants and neurosurgery, boosting precision care.
  • Kerala’s first robotic bypass surgery marks a major milestone.

Aster DM Healthcare, one of India’s largest healthcare networks, is pushing the future of surgery forward with fast-growing adoption of robotic-assisted procedures. Hospitals across its national network, including Aster Medcity, Aster Whitefield, Aster RV and Aster CMI now use robotic systems in urology, oncology, gynaecology and orthopaedics, while expanding into liver and kidney transplants and neurosurgery.

The healthcare group performed 1,900 robotic surgeries last year and has already completed 1,300 procedures this fiscal, highlighting strong and steady growth. Supported by advanced Da Vinci and SSI Mantra systems, Aster is making precision-led, minimally invasive surgeries accessible in both metro and non-metro regions.

Prof. Dr. Somashekar, Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board and Global Director of the Aster International Institute of Oncology, said robotic surgery is one of the most important advances in modern care. He noted that combining cutting-edge technology with strong clinical training ensures patients receive better outcomes with greater dignity and comfort.

Aster recently achieved a major breakthrough with Kerala’s first robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery, performed at Aster Medcity. The procedure, paired with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, resulted in smaller cuts, quicker healing, less scarring and lower risk of complications. The achievement reflects how robotic technology is reshaping high-end cardiac care.

With a network of 20 hospitals, 10 clinics, hundreds of pharmacies and labs, Aster DM Healthcare continues to integrate robotics responsibly and compassionately, shaping a future where innovation and patient-focused care go hand in hand.
