Hyderabad, Sep 03: A 62-year-old man has successfully undergone robotic surgery for a tumour in his left kidney at Amor Hospitals, and was discharged in a stable condition on the third postoperative day, following a smooth recovery.
The patient, Suresh, a resident of Hyderabad, presented with occasional abdominal pain and underwent a routine medical evaluation. Further investigations, including a CT scan, revealed a tumour in the left kidney. Following detailed preoperative evaluation and optimisation, doctors planned a robotic left radical nephrectomy to remove the affected kidney.
Commenting on the procedure, Dr. Kalyan Vangara, Consultant Oncologist & Advanced Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeon, Amor Hospitals said,
“Robotic surgery can offer important advantages in appropriately selected patients, particularly by enabling precise surgical dissection through minimally invasive access. In this case, our focus was to safely and effectively treat the renal tumour while supporting a faster postoperative recovery. The patient’s early mobilisation, smooth recovery and discharge on the third postoperative day are encouraging.”
The surgery was performed using the “Make in India” SSI Mantra Robotic Surgical System, an advanced robotic platform that enables surgeons to perform complex procedures through minimally invasive techniques with enhanced precision and control.
“At Amor Hospitals, our mission is to make world-class, high-end healthcare accessible and affordable to patients in India. The successful use of the ‘Make in India’ SSI Mantra robotic system reflects our commitment to bringing advanced surgical technology to our patients while ensuring that quality, precision and affordability go hand in hand. We will continue to invest in technologies and clinical expertise that can deliver better outcomes without making advanced treatment inaccessible,” added Dr Kishore B Reddy, Managing Director, Amor Hospitals.
Following the procedure, the patient was mobilised early and showed good overall recovery without any reported major postoperative concerns. He was discharged on the third postoperative day and will continue regular follow-up and surveillance as advised by the treating team.
The successful outcome of the procedure performed by Dr. Kalyan Vangara and Dr. Poojitha Yalla, Consultant Surgical Oncologist, was supported by a multidisciplinary team, with Dr. Jagadeesh, Anaesthesiology, overseeing perioperative anaesthesia and monitoring, and Dr. Pratyusha, Critical Care, contributing to postoperative management and recovery.
Robotic surgery, when clinically appropriate, can offer potential benefits including smaller incisions, reduced postoperative discomfort, precise surgical dissection and earlier recovery. The successful case highlights the growing role of robotic and minimally invasive surgery in advanced cancer care at Amor Hospitals, while underscoring the importance of timely evaluation when symptoms such as persistent or unexplained abdominal discomfort occurs.
