Medicover Hospital’s medical team in Bengaluru achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing a complex robotic pelvic exenteration surgery on a 46-year-old female patient suffering from advanced urinary bladder cancer. The patient, who had been experiencing hematuria (blood in urine) for the past seven months, is now hemodynamically stable and has been shifted to the general ward after an initial period of post-operative critical care.
The patient, a resident of Kolkata, sought treatment at Medicover Hospital after consulting various other healthcare providers and learning about the hospital’s advanced robotic surgical capabilities. Despite the challenges posed by the severity of her condition, she underwent surgery and was discharged within just four days, highlighting the effectiveness of robotic-assisted procedures in reducing recovery time.
The patient had initially ignored symptoms of hematuria despite a CT scan recommendation. However, as the condition worsened, a biopsy revealed cancer originating in the urinary bladder, which had also spread to the uterus. Considering the severity of her case, a team led by robotic surgery expert, Dr. Pramod, recommended robotic pelvic exenteration surgery, which involved removing the bladder and uterus.
Surgical Highlights:
The robotic-assisted procedure ensured minimal invasiveness, precision, and reduced blood loss.
The surgery entailed creating a temporary urinary diversion after removing the cancerous bladder and uterus.
Post-operative care included ICU monitoring, blood transfusions, and nutritional support.
Results:
The patient’s hemoglobin levels improved post-surgery. Recovery time was significantly shorter compared to traditional open surgery, allowing her to return home just four days after the procedure.
The success of the surgery underscores the advanced capabilities of robotic-assisted treatment, making it a preferred option for complex cases.
Doctor’s Statement:
“Robotic surgery not only ensures precise removal of cancerous tissue but also significantly reduces recovery time, as seen in this case. Conventional surgeries might require weeks of recovery, but robotic procedures enable patients to regain normalcy much faster,” said Dr. Pramod, Robotic Surgeon at Medicover Hospital.
