Robotic surgery uses a surgeon-controlled robotic platform to operate through small incisions, offering a magnified 3D view, greater precision and improved dexterity compared with conventional laparoscopic instruments, particularly valuable in confined spaces such as the abdomen, neck and chest.
Our Areas of Robotic Expertise
Robotic GI Surgery
Robotic techniques applied to gastrointestinal procedures, offering the same precision and control that has made Dr. Gandhi's practice the highest-volume robotic GI service in Mumbai.
Robotic Thyroid Surgery
A scar-reducing option for suitable thyroid conditions, performed through smaller, better-hidden incisions, with the same careful attention to the nerves and glands that sit close to the thyroid.
Thoracic Sympathectomy
A robotic approach to thoracic sympathectomy for suitable patients, offering the precision needed to work safely within the confined space of the chest.
Robotic Pancreas Surgery
Selected pancreatic and Pancreas-related surgery performed robotically, where a minimally invasive approach is appropriate for the individual case.
Is Robotic Surgery Right for You?
Not every condition, or every patient, is suited to a robotic approach. Dr. Gandhi assesses each case individually, based on the type, stage and location of the problem and your overall health, before recommending robotic surgery over a conventional laparoscopic or open approach.
What to Expect
1. Consultation and assessment, including imaging and test results, to confirm whether robotic surgery is appropriate for your case
2. Detailed discussion of the planned procedure, expected outcomes and any alternatives
3. The robotic procedure itself, performed by Dr. Gandhi using the robotic platform
4. Monitored recovery, with most patients experiencing less pain and a shorter hospital stay than with open surgery
Frequently Asked Questions
Both use small incisions instead of one large cut. Robotic surgery adds a surgeon-controlled robotic platform that offers a magnified 3D view and greater precision, which can be especially useful for complex or delicate procedures.
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon for a suitable case. Dr. Gandhi has performed the highest volume of robotic GI procedures in Mumbai and trained specifically in robotic technique in the United States.
Robotic surgery can carry additional costs compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery. This is discussed clearly during your consultation, alongside insurance coverage where applicable.
Recovery varies by procedure, but robotic surgery generally allows a shorter hospital stay and faster return to normal activity than open surgery, with the specific timeline discussed for your case.
Dr. Jignesh Gandhi has performed the highest volume of robotic gastrointestinal procedures in Mumbai and trained in robotic surgery at the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, USA.
