Robotic surgery has transformed the treatment of tumors in challenging locations such as the throat, base of the tongue, and tonsils, particularly those linked to HPV-positive head and neck tumors. Traditional methods involving jaw cutting and large neck incisions have been replaced by minimally invasive procedures through the mouth, facilitated by advanced robotic technology. This innovation not only ensures precise tumor removal but also reduces hospital stays and lessens the rehabilitation needed for functions like swallowing and speech. Surgeons are extending the use of this state-of-the-art robot to explore applications in thyroid, parathyroid, and submandibular gland surgeries, showcasing its versatility in improving surgical outcomes across various head and neck procedures.

Explore the forefront of healthcare with our state-of-the-art robotic-assisted thoracic surgeries. Leveraging advanced robotic technology, our team of expert surgeons ensure procedural precision, facilitating swift recovery and optimal results. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery, is a minimally invasive approach employed in thoracic procedures for many cases of lung cancer. This enables the removal of diseased lung tissue and potentially adjacent lymph nodes. Utilizing specialized wristed instruments and a magnified view, surgeons can execute precise and controlled movements, extracting lung tissue through a minimal incision. Unlike traditional methods that require larger incisions to access the chest or involve rib spreading, robotic thoracic surgery offers a less invasive alternative. Robotic assisted Surgery can be used in various chest procedures related to the lungs, esophagus, thymus, and specific cardiac interventions, extending its utility beyond lung cancer surgery.

As a leading cancer treatment provider, Fortis strives to provide patients with advanced treatment options. Our surgeons combine the expertise of their skilled surgeons with state-of-the-art robot technology to provide robotic-assisted Surgical Oncology. There are some types of cancers that cannot be treated with traditional open surgery. During robotic surgery, specially trained surgeons use tiny surgical tools and a computer console to remove cancer from a patient.

During cancer treatment, the primary goal of doctors is to deliver the most effective treatment for patient by identifying the exact location, its relationship with adjacent organs and body parts, specific type and stage of cancer. It is crucial to consider the patient's prognosis and consider the appropriate surgical goals accordingly.

Surgery may be performed for various reasons, depending on the individual's specific situation:

Curative Surgery: The primary goal is to completely remove the cancerous tumor with the intention of achieving a cure.

Neoadjuvant Surgery: Surgery is performed before other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy to reduce the size of the tumor, making subsequent treatments more effective.

Palliative Surgery: The aim is to alleviate symptoms, such as pain, or to restore function and improve the patient's quality of life.

Robotic surgery is now being considered as an option for many types of cancers. In many cases, robotic surgery is now being recommended as a better alternative to open surgery, offering potential advantages. Your treating doctor’s team will assess your specific condition and recommend the most suitable treatment approach, including robotic surgery if appropriate
