Whenever indicated, surgeries are preferably performed by laparoscopy/ robotic techniques so as to expedite the patient recovery and minimize post-operative discomfort. Complex Open/ laparoscopic surgeries are performed by the department on regular basis in OR -22, located at level 6 OT complex. Currently OR runs thrice a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) but it will soon be run on daily basis.  Surgeries are performed with state of the art medical equipment like HD laparoscopic system, Da Vinci Xi robotic system, advanced vessel sealing devices (Harmonic, Ligasure) and water jet based liver dissector system. These advanced equipment promotes shorter surgical times, less blood loss and helps in achieving the ultimate goal of ‘safe surgery’.
