First ever robotic surgery done successfully at Karachi Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center.
In a significant medical breakthrough, a 34-year-old patient at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) underwent cutting-edge gallstone surgery employing state-of-the-art robotic technology.
This groundbreaking operation, guided by the Executive Director of Jinnah Hospital, Prof. Dr. Shahid Rasool, was led by the skilled surgical team of Dr. Saddam and Dr. Mansab. Remarkably, the surgery was completed in a mere 25 minutes, as reported by the JPMC spokesperson.
Robotic surgery represents the latest rise in surgical techniques and holds promise for revolutionizing general surgery. One of its standout features is its minimally invasive nature, making it a less painful alternative for procedures involving the lower abdomen. The patient’s quick recovery following this innovative approach underscores its effectiveness and potential to transform the field of surgery. Particularly, this achievement follows the first-ever robotic surgery conducted in a public sector hospital at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Transplant Institute (PKLI) in Lahore, further highlighting the increasing adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies within the country’s healthcare system. These advancements not only offer patients improved treatment options but also reflect the commitment of medical professionals to staying at the forefront of medical innovation to deliver the best possible care.
