Robotic Thoracic Surgery-A new weapon to fight lung cancer and chest diseases
We have started a unique key hole robotic thoracic surgery programme. This is first of its kind in Eastern India. The nearest robotic thoracic surgery centre away from this hospital for the Calcutta is in Delhi and Hyderabad . Within a span of week our Robotic Cardio thoracic surgery team led by Prof. Amitabha Chakrabarti has successfully operated on 3 patients suffering from cavitary disease of lung, tumour inside chest and on another lady suffering from giant bulla of lung. All these could have killed the patients.Conventional chest surgery requires 20-25 cm long cut mark and long stay in hospital, pain is also another problem.Thanks to the development and availability of robotic thoracic surgery in this hospital , this has brought a ray of hope to the citizens of kolkata and eastern India. Now kolkata is at par with all internationally acclaimed thoracic centres
