GMCH, Nagpur, sets record with 225 robotic surgeries in one year

1 2 3 Nagpur: A record 225 robotic surgeries were performed at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Nagpur, in the last 12 months. It's a feat for an Indian hospital, public or private, said GMCH dean. The achievement was accomplished in April 2024 and included many robotic surgeries, from simple hernia procedures to complex robotic bypass ones. "This is a record-breaking milestone. We performed all types of robotic surgeries with excellent clinical outcomes," GMCH dean Dr Raj Gajbhiye said during a press conference on Tuesday. "Last month, we successfully carried out a robotic-assisted bypass surgery, becoming the first govt medical college in Maharashtra to perform the operation. Two more patients are scheduled for similar procedures," Dr Gajbhiye added. He also revealed that GMCH is preparing to take another significant step by introducing robotic-assisted kidney transplant surgeries. "Our urology team is currently undergoing specialised training. Once the training is over, we will begin robotic kidney transplants, another first for a govt hospital," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Skip the Debt Trap: These Degrees Actually Pay Off Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo So far, robotic surgeries in areas such as oncology, gynaecology, gastrointestinal procedures, hernia repairs, and oesophageal operations have been performed at GMCH, Nagpur. The hands-on training being provided to medical students in robotic surgery is also setting the institution apart. "Our students are getting real-time exposure to robotic surgeries, which is extremely rare in medical education," said Dr Gajbhiye. Adding to its reputation as a pioneer institute, GMCH has become the only medical college in Maharashtra to launch a MUHS-supported fellowship programme in robotic surgery. "This is a huge academic achievement. We secured two fellowship seats, and we will begin admissions this year," the dean confirmed. In addition to advancements in robotic surgery, GMCH is also expanding its super speciality academic offerings. Dr Gajbhiye announced that the college is in the final stages of inspection to start DM courses in endocrinology and intensive care, among others. "We are confident of getting approval for these super specialties from this academic year," he said. "With its growing stature in both clinical and academic fields, GMCH, Nagpur, continues to raise the bar for govt medical institutions across India," said Dr Avinash Gawande, medical superintendent of the college.
