In case of breast cancer, having the entire breast removed was very painful for the patients, however, now such technologies have come with the help of which not only the cancer can be completely eliminated, but now there is no need to remove the entire breast. Delhi’s CK Birla Hospital has recently performed successful surgery on 50 such breast cancer patients, whose entire breasts did not have to be removed, but only the cancer was cut and removed from their breasts.

The hospital has completed 50 successful breast cancer surgeries with the help of robotic surgery and has now become the first major hospital in North India to have this special and advanced technology.

about this Dr. Mandeep Singh Malhotra, Director of Surgical Oncology Said that the surgery done with robotic technology shows the hospital’s philosophy that treatment should not be just about the disease, but about the entire experience of the patient. So that his morale also remains strong after treatment.

How is robotic surgery done?
Dr. Singh says that this surgery done by robot is one of the most modern techniques of breast cancer treatment today. In this, very small and hidden incisions are made, due to which the cancer is removed safely and the structure of the breast is also preserved to a great extent. Due to this, patients recover quickly and also feel mentally stronger.

In recent times, many women ranging from 30 years to 70 years of age have taken advantage of this technology. Many patients have been able to return to their daily lives sooner, with less pain and less stress than with normal surgery.

He further said, ‘Completing 50 robot-assisted surgeries is a very important step for us. Our aim is not only to remove cancer, but also to maintain the self-confidence and dignity of women. With robotic surgery, we are able to remove cancer very precisely, that too with fewer and hidden incisions. When we see patients recovering and living life with confidence again, we get inspired to do better work.

He also said that this technique is especially beneficial for patients who require nipple-sparing or skin-sparing surgery. With the help of robots, surgery becomes more precise and the natural structure of the body can also be preserved to a great extent.

Vice-President of the hospital, Amit Sharma said, ‘Our endeavor is to provide sensitive care along with excellent treatment. Now the hospital aims to become a ‘centre of excellence’ in this field and also provide training in this technique to doctors across the country, so that more and more patients can benefit from it.
