The Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH), Mumbai organized a continuing medical education ( CME) with the city doctors on Saturday to appraise them of latest developments in the field of treatment in cancer and neurosurgery.

Dr TB Yuvaraja, consultant uro-oncologist and robotic surgeon from the hospital said that robotic surgery is the latest surgical technique which is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to both open and laparoscopic surgery. "But robotic surgery does not mean that robots perform the entire surgery and doctor has no role. Instead doctor performs the operation using the arms of a robot under 12 times magnified image," he said. Robotic surgery has greater precision and thus better results. It minimizes pain, risk of infection, blood loss and ensures faster recovery.

The hospital has state of art neurosciences department with India's first IMRIS (Intra Operative MRI system) for complicated brain tumour surgeries. Dr Anandh Balasubramaniam, consultant neurosurgeon informed that the doctors here performed surgeries of all types of neurological disorders and diseases like brain tumours, movement disorders, stroke and epilepsy.

KDAH also has a comprehensive cancer care centre which offers services from diagnosis, treatment, pain management and palliative care under one roof. "As a breast cancer surgeon we try to conserve the breast in maximum possible cases. We use reconstructive surgery facility for it," he said.
