Delhi Hospital Achieves Milestone in Robotic-Assisted Splenorenal Bypass

A groundbreaking robot-assisted splenorenal bypass surgery was conducted at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Delhi on a 67-year-old woman with severe renal artery stenosis, marking India's first such procedure. The surgery effectively restored blood flow to her only functioning kidney, significantly improving her condition.

In a groundbreaking medical procedure, Delhi's Max Super Speciality Hospital performed India's first robot-assisted splenorenal bypass surgery on a 67-year-old woman. The patient, who had previously undergone kidney removal, faced severe renal artery stenosis in her remaining kidney, aggravating her hypertension.

The innovative surgery, led by Anant Kumar, aimed to restore blood supply by connecting the splenic artery to the renal artery. This minimally invasive method allowed for precise reconstruction of the blood vessels. Following the procedure, the patient experienced improved blood pressure and rapid recovery, as confirmed by follow-up medical scans, showcasing the potential of robotic technology in complex surgeries.
