CARE Hospitals Visakhapatnam Completes 1,000 GI Surgeries Using Advanced Da Vinci Robotic System

The da Vinci Robotic system is designed to allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with enhanced precision and accuracy

CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, has announced the completion of 1,000 robotic gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries at its Visakhapatnam facility within 18 months.

The surgeries were performed under the leadership of Dr. B. B. Das, Clinical Director of the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology & Robotic Surgery at CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam.

The hospital leveraged the Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System to perform these procedures.

The Da Vinci Robotic system is designed to allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery with enhanced precision and accuracy, featuring ergonomics with intuitive controls and magnified 3D HD vision for enhanced vision clarity.

The system also incorporates EndoWrist instruments, which enable delicate and precise movements aimed at enhancing the surgeon’s capability to perform complex procedures with accuracy and reduce risk complications.

Commenting on the significance of the robotic surgical system, Dr. BB Das, Clinical Director - Department of Surgical Gastroenterology & Robotic Surgery, Care Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, said, “Reaching 1,000 robotic GI surgeries within 18 months demonstrates how cutting-edge technology is reshaping gastrointestinal care in Eastern India. Robotic platforms provide superior dexterity, vision, and control while navigating delicate anatomy, directly enhancing patient safety, reducing postoperative discomfort, and significantly shortening hospital stay durations, bringing world-class surgical precision closer to our region.”

With the adoption of the Da Vinci System, the hospital aims to enhance robotic and minimally invasive surgery to facilitate quick recovery.

Notable cases highlighting the capabilities of the robotic system include scarless hernia repair, combined gallbladder and hysterectomy procedures, and an emergency splenectomy.

Speaking on the occasion, Subhash Reddy, Chief Operating Officer, Care Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, said, “Achieving 1,000 robotic GI surgeries in such a short span underscores our commitment to global-standard healthcare. This milestone reflects the expertise of our clinical teams and the trust from our patients. It represents a technological shift that is transforming outcomes and expanding access to advanced treatment across Eastern India.”
