(Credit:https://aimsschamiana.edu.in/) The Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialities (AIMSS) at Chamiyana in Shimla is set to become the first medical institute in Himachal Pradesh to introduce surgeries using cutting-edge robotic technology. A state-of-the-art surgical robot — procured at a cost of Rs 28 crore on the lines of AIIMS Delhi — has already arrived at the institute. The installation process is expected to be completed by July, following which robotic-assisted surgeries will commence.
Dr Brij Lal, principal, AIMSS Chamiyana, said that robotic surgery will offer significant benefits to both patients and doctors. “Robotic procedures require only small incisions, resulting in minimal blood loss, reduced need for transfusions, and faster recovery for patients. They experience less pain and are discharged sooner,” he said.
