In a remarkable medical achievement, doctors at Paras HMRI Hospital in Patna successfully performed a robotic radical surgery on an 85-year-old patient to remove a 10-centimeter kidney tumour. The mass was found to be densely adherent to the spleen and adjacent internal structures, a condition attributed to a desmoplastic reaction.
Complex Procedure Handled with Precision
The operation utilised advanced robotic systems to navigate the complex placement of the tumour. Surgeons focused on separating the mass from surrounding organs while maintaining the integrity of the vascular system. The hospital confirmed that the patient is in satisfactory condition following the surgery.
Surgeon's Perspective
Dr Rajeev Kumar, senior consultant of urology at Paras HMRI Hospital, where the surgery was performed, said, “Removing such a large tumour in an 85-year-old patient, especially one that was adherent to nearby organs, was challenging. However, the enhanced precision, superior visualisation, and better control offered by robotic surgery enabled us to safely navigate complex anatomical structures and achieve a successful outcome.”
Hospital Leadership Commends Team
Anil Kumar, zonal director of Paras HMRI Hospital, congratulated the team for the achievement, highlighting the hospital's commitment to advanced medical care.
This successful procedure underscores the growing role of robotic surgery in treating complex cases, particularly in elderly patients where traditional surgery may pose higher risks.
