Narayana Health City Performs Robotic-Assisted Pediatric Heart Surgery

The advanced robotic system provides surgeons with three-dimensional, high-definition visualization and enhanced dexterity, enabling precision in operating within a child’s small heart chambers.

Doctors at Narayana Health City successfully executed robotic-assisted closure of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) in children, marking a key advancement in minimally invasive pediatric heart surgery.

The procedures, led by Dr. Raghu M G, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic Surgery, were performed through small thoracic ports. According to the hospital, “all patients recovered without the need for blood transfusions.”

Dr. Raghu stated, “By combining robotic precision with minimally invasive techniques, we are able to treat congenital heart defects, and our young patients recover faster, with less discomfort and minimal scars.”

Narayana Health City has also extended robotic-assisted techniques to other congenital heart surgeries, including atrial septal defect (ASD) closures, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) rerouting, repair of double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV), and mitral valve surgeries.

The hospital’s adoption of robotic-assisted technology represents a significant leap in pediatric cardiac care, reducing surgical trauma, enhancing safety, and improving post-operative outcomes for children with congenital heart conditions.
