KATHMANDU – For the first time in Nepal, a robotic surgery has been successfully completed at B&B Hospital in Lalitpur. The hospital successfully performed three robotic surgeries on the same day.
Dr. Nutan Sharma, Senior Obstetrician and Gynecologist, performed surgery on three women using a robot for the first time in Nepal. Sharma, who is also a laparoscopic surgeon and IVF specialist, removed the uterus of a 52-year-old woman, ovarian cyst of a 31-year-old woman and tumor of the uterus of another 34-year-old woman through a robotic procedure.
Dr. Lina Mehrota, director of Apex Hospital in Mordabad, India, was monitoring by sharing the screen when robotic surgery was being performed for the first time in Nepal. The hospital said that all three patients who underwent robotic surgery have been discharged. After succeeding in making the first robotic surgery record in the country, Dr. Sharma has responded to this success as the biggest achievement of her life. “This is an important moment in my career, more than that it is a milestone for Nepal’s health sector,” said Dr. Sharma said, “On top of that, it became another matter of pride for us to hold the record of performing the first robotic surgery in the country.”
Assistant Director of B&B Hospital Dr. According to Niraj Vaidya, robotic surgery will now be used not only for women and obstetrics patients, but also for the treatment of other diseases. He said that this achievement marks the beginning of a new era for Nepal’s health sector. The use of robotic technology in surgery is beneficial for both doctors and patients. Sharma says. According to him, the robotic system can perform surgery with more precision without causing large wounds.
This will reduce the risk of complications and improve surgical outcomes, he said. He says that since robotic surgery is performed with minimal incisions, the patients do not suffer much and the wound and excrement do not remain too much. Since the precise work of the robot that can rotate in 360 degrees and perform surgery can be done remotely, the possibility of infection from the doctor to the patient has been completely eliminated. Sharma claims.
