Care Hospitals Performs Gynaecology Procedure Using Medtronic Hugo RAS
Hyderabad based CARE Hospitals Group, today announced the first gynaecology (hysterectomy) procedure in Asia-Pacific using Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. The announcement was made in the presence of Mr. T Harish Rao, Minister of Finance, Health, Medical, and Family Welfare, State of Telangana.
The procedure was performed by the clinical team led by Dr. Manjula Anagani, at the group’s flagship facility located at Banjara Hills. The patient, a 46-year-old woman, was suffering from prolonged Adenomyosis, a condition that causes the uterus to thicken and enlarge. She underwent a robotic-assisted total hysterectomy procedure where the affected uterus was removed using the Hugo RAS system. CARE became the first hospital in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to install this new robotic-assisted surgery system from Medtronic.
“Investments in technology enabled healthcare solutions are vital to ensure quality patient care at affordable costs. High quality equipment like robotic systems helps improve accuracy, reduces hospital stay, and fasten patient’s recovery,” T Harish Rao, Minister of Finance, Medical, Health and Family Welfare, Telangana,
“The introduction of the all-new Hugo RAS system from Medtronic is a testament to our pioneering initiatives and perfectly complements the continued efforts of our surgeons in delivering the high-quality care to our patients,” stated Jasdeep Singh, Group CEO, CARE Hospitals.
“It is a proud moment for all our teams, and we look forward to using this innovative robotic system to expand access to the powerful benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more patients,” said Dr. Manjula Anagani
The Hugo RAS system is a modular, multi-quadrant platform designed for a broad range of soft-tissue procedures. It combines wristed instruments, 3D visualisation, and Touch Surgery Enterprise, a cloud-based surgical video capture and management solution, with dedicated support teams specialising in robotics program optimization, service, and training, the hospital said in a statement on Thursday.
