Doctors at the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS Hospitals) performed a robotic surgery to remove a tumour from a 27-year-old female’s pancreas. The 6x7 cms size Solid Pseudopapillary Epithelial Neoplasm (SPEN) tumourwas believed to be the largest to date to be removed using robotic surgery procedure in India. The procedure was accomplished by Dr Madhu Devarasetty, consultant surgical oncologist and robotic surgeon and his team.
Elaborating about the procedure, DrDevarasetty said, “The surgery was accomplished with Si Davinci system and specimen extracted through a small 6 cms incision that leaves a tiny and perishable scar on the body. The procedure lasted for five hours and 30 minutes and the patient was discharged on the seventh day.”
