A Landmark in Paediatric Robotic Surgery
Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh, Senior Consultant Paediatric Urologist at NU Hospitals , Bengaluru, successfully performed three robotic paediatric pyeloplasty procedures for PUJ obstruction using the AMS Edge Robotic System.
The procedures included children aged 4 years (13 kg) and 6 years (16 kg), including a complex case with a lower pole crossing vessel, demonstrating the capability of robotic-assisted surgery in managing delicate paediatric reconstructive procedures.
These procedures represent the first paediatric robotic surgeries performed in India using the AMS Edge Robotic System, showcasing its precision, enhanced dexterity, and minimally invasive approach in paediatric urology.
Congratulations to Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh and the entire Urology, Anaesthesia, Nursing, and Operating Room teams at NU Hospitals for this remarkable clinical achievement and their commitment to advancing robotic-assisted paediatric care.
