The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, and India Medtronic Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medtronic plc, launching its state-of-the-art surgical robotics training facility at AIIMS, which will provide doctors with a best-in-class training facility in robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control than is possible with conventional techniques.
It is the first such center at AIIMS utilizing Medtronic’s HugoTMrobotic-assisted surgery (RAS)system. This partnership was announced in the presence of Dr. Minu Bajpai, HOD Paediatric Surgery and Dean Academics, AIIMS, and Michael Blackwell, Vice President& Managing Director, Medtronic India.
RAS is an emerging medical technology that can help standardize surgical procedures and enable surgeons to perform complex surgeries. The training center will offer a broad spectrum of training to enhance the knowledge and skill set in RAS, ranging from basic skills training to procedural training to more advanced and specialized areas in soft-tissue surgery. The training will help impart procedural knowledge skills using surgical robotics among surgeons, fellows, and residents from across the country.Michael Blackwell, Vice President & Managing Director, Medtronic India said “Together, we will make training and education more accessible and enhance the skill of surgeons, and benefits of RAS available to more patients.”
