KARACHI: In a groundbreaking development, a Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) team conducted the institute’s inaugural robotic surgery.
According to the JPMC spokesperson, a 34-year-old patient underwent a surgical procedure to address gallstones within the gallbladder, utilizing state-of-the-art robotic surgical techniques.
A team of skilled doctors, led by JPMC Executive Director Prof Dr Shahid Rasul, along with Dr Saddam and Dr Munsab, executed this pioneering operation, which was successfully completed within a mere 25 minutes.
Robotic surgery represents the cutting-edge frontier of surgical procedures, allowing for precise interventions in a wide range of surgical domains. It also offers a relatively comfortable and less painful experience, particularly for lower abdominal operations.
