Advancing Minimally Invasive Cardiac Care Through Robotic Technology for Faster Recovery and Greater Precision

Narayana Health City Completes 100+ Robotic Cardiac Surgeries in a Single Month Advanced robotic technology is enabling surgeons to perform complex heart procedures with unprecedented precision and minimally invasive approaches.   Narayana Health City has successfully completed over 100 robotic cardiac surgeries in a single month, marking a significant milestone in advanced heart care. The achievement reflects not only exceptional surgical expertise and clinical precision, but also the seamless integration of cutting-edge robotic technology to deliver consistently strong patient outcomes across adult and paediatric cases.   At Narayana Health’s Robotic Cardiac Surgery Milestone Event (L to R): Dr. Rahul Rao; Dr. Praveen R Tambrallimath; Dr. Raghu MG; Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M; Dr. Kiran K Among the complex procedures performed during the month was the case of a 45-year-old patient who had previously undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as heart bypass surgery, and later presented with a tumour in the upper chamber of the heart that can obstruct blood flow if left untreated. In patients who have already undergone bypass surgery, reopening the chest through a conventional redo sternotomy can be particularly risky, as the existing grafts (blood vessels surgically connected to reroute blood around blocked arteries) may be damaged during the procedure. In this case, the patient’s earlier bypass grafts were still functioning well, making a traditional surgical approach potentially dangerous. To reduce this risk, the surgical team adopted a robotic assisted minimally invasive approach. The operation was performed through a small incision on the right side of the chest using robotic instruments and high-definition visualisation, allowing access to the heart without reopening the breastbone.   Doctors performing robotic-assisted heart surgery at Narayana Health City, showcasing precision technology and advanced cardiac care in action through minimally invasive surgery Dr. Raghu M G, Senior Consultant – Cardiothoracic Surgery , said, “ The patient was supported on a heart–lung machine through peripheral blood vessels, and the procedure was carried out using a specialised technique that allows the heart to temporarily quiver instead of being completely stopped using conventional clamping methods. Using robotic precision, the team accessed the left atrium and successfully removed the tumour while preserving the surrounding heart structures and valve function. The patient recovered well following the surgery and was discharged in stable condition .” Another notable case involved a 46-year-old patient whose mitral valve had become severely narrowed due to rheumatic heart disease, affecting normal blood flow through the heart. Using a robotic approach, the surgical team replaced the diseased mitral valve with a mechanical mitral valve. The advanced system provided high-definition 3D visualisation and enhanced precision, allowing the team to operate with greater control inside the heart. Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surger y, explained, “ The robotic platform provides exceptional surgical precision, allowing surgeons to operate with greater control while avoiding conventional sternotomy (traditional open-chest surgery through the breastbone). For patients, this approach can translate into less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, quicker recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes. The procedure was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in stable condition .” Another remarkable case involved a 69-year-old woman diagnosed with coronary artery disease along with a rare condition called dextrocardia with situs inversus, where the heart and other internal organs are positioned as a mirror image of the normal anatomy. Evaluation confirmed significant blockages in the heart’s blood vessels along with reduced heart function. Despite the anatomical complexity, the cardiac team performed a robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. The robotic platform provided enhanced visualisation and surgical precision, which was particularly important in this case because the patient’s heart was positioned on the opposite side of the chest.  Robotic cardiac surgery is transforming the way we treat coronary artery disease. In a recent case involving a 57-year-old gentleman with complex coronary artery disease, our team successfully performed three bypass grafts using robotic-assisted techniques. With regards to this, Dr. Kiran K, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , said, “ This advanced approach enables us to treat critical blockages with high precision through very small incisions, avoiding the need for a large chest opening or cutting the breastbone. One of the major advantages of this technique is the minimalistic scar, as the surgery is performed through small keyhole incisions without cutting the bone (sternum). For patients, this translates into less pain, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and an earlier return to normal life. With advancements in robotic technology and growing surgical expertise, we are now able to offer minimally invasive solutions even for complex coronary artery disease, while replicating the same results as a conventional CABG .” Dr. Gagan Khullar, Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , shared, “ Operating on a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus presents unique challenges because the heart and surrounding structures are positioned differently from typical anatomy. The robotic platform provides excellent visualisation and precision, allowing us to adapt safely to these anatomical variations. The surgery was completed successfully, and the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged in stable condition .” These cases reflect the robust infrastructure and technological integration at Narayana Health’s Cardiology Centre of Excellence. Robotic cardiac surgery requires close coordination between surgical, anaesthesia and technology teams. From pre-operative planning to post-operative recovery, every step is carefully streamlined to ensure precision, safety and faster patient recovery, enabling the centre to scale advanced heart care without compromising on quality. The milestone also highlights Narayana Health City’s growing reach beyond regional boundaries. Of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery during the month. 35% were from Karnataka 15% from Tamil Nadu 10% from West Bengal 10% from Bangladesh 8% from Jharkhand  8% from Assam 5% from Andhra Pradesh, followed by states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Tripura. This diverse geographical mix underscores the growing confidence patients across India and neighbouring Bangladesh place in the centre’s advanced robotic cardiac capabilities.   With continued advancements in robotic cardiac surgery, Narayana Health remains committed to making complex heart procedures less invasive and more accessible, while delivering precise, patient-centric care to individuals and families across India and neighbouring regions.

Opposition Backs Kirti Azad Over Trophy Temple Visit Row, Calls For Respecting All Sentiments

BJP MP Gautam Gambhir: Several Opposition leaders on Tuesday expressed support for Trinamool Congress MP and former cricketer Kirti Azad after his social media post questioning the decision to take the T20 World Cup trophy to a temple. Opposition leaders said Azad had raised an important concern and stressed that it was essential to ensure that the sentiments of people from all faiths are respected. The controversy erupted after Azad, who was a member of Indias 1983 World Cup-winning team, criticised the act of taking the trophy to a temple by cricketer Suryakumar Yadav, head coach and former BJP MP Gautam Gambhir, and International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah. In a post on social media platform X, Azad wrote, As Why NOT a Mosque? Why NOT a Church? Why NOT a Gurudwara? The Trophy Belongs to 1.4 BILLION Indians of EVERY Faith NOT ONE RELIGION'S VICTORY LAP!. He further criticised the move, saying it was unfortunate that one religion appeared to be given precedence. Referring to Indias historic 1983 World Cup triumph under Kapil Dev, Azad wrote that the team represented people from different faiths. When we won the World Cup under Kapil Dev in 1983, we had Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian in the team. We brought the trophy to our religious birthplace our motherland India, Bharat, Hindustan, he wrote. Azad also added, This Team Represents INDIA not Surya Kumar Yadav's or Jay Shah's Family. Mentioning players from different religious backgrounds, he further wrote: (Mohammad) Siraj never paraded it at a Mosque. Sanju (Samson) never took it to a Church... latter had a major part to play and was man of the tournament. Reacting to the controversy, Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat defended Azad and said his concerns should be taken seriously. Kirti Azad has been a part of our team when we won the World Cup. He is our respected Member of Parliament and he has raised these concerns. Sports should always be played in the spirit of the game, and when the country wins, it is India that wins. It is not the victory of any particular community, group, or individual. That is why I said that the issues he has highlighted are indeed matters of concern. Since the government of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power, such incidents have increased. There seems to be an attempt to divide society, where people are being pushed to come forward with separate identities, he told IANS. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MP, Mahua Maji also emphasised the need to be sensitive towards peoples religious sentiments. In our country you can see that politics over religion happens during elections and even in sports. I believe that when people of all castes and religions are involved in sports, whether they are players or spectators, it is very important to ensure that no ones sentiments are hurt, because these are matters at the national level. In our country, people visit temples, mosques, churches, and gurdwaras, so we should avoid such issues... Congress MLA and former national hockey team captain Pargat Singh said sports should remain free from religious divisions. There is no need to differentiate in sports, for us every religion is same. I don't have much background on this, it should be taken to temple, masjids, gurdwaras, churches everywhere. It is better if we keep religion and sports separate. Congress MLA and former national hockey team captain Pargat Singh said sports should remain free from religious divisions. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Kirti Azad may have his own stand, as he has been a great cricketer and an MP. I think we should not bring politics into sports. Our players have done exceptionally well - we have become T20 world champions for the third time. They should be congratulated for this. If they want to take the trophy to a temple or a mosque, it is their personal decision. The cricket control Board can do nothing about it. Article Source: IANS
