MNJ Cancer Hospital performs 250 robotic-assisted cancer surgeries

In the past 30 months, cancer specialists from MNJ Cancer Hospital, Red Hills, have successfully conducted over 250 robotic-assisted cancer surgeries for patients from economically weaker sections.

Around 150 of these were related to gynaecological cancer surgeries in the past 24 months. These surgeries were primarily for cancers of the cervix, uterus and ovary,



conditions that often require surgery in anatomically narrow pelvic spaces where precision is critical.

Dr Ramesh Maturi, Head, Surgical Oncology, MNJ Cancer Hospital, said, “Our experience with the da Vinci surgical system has improved our ability to conduct gynaecological cancer surgeries, where surgery is often performed in anatomically narrow pelvic spaces.”
