Breakthrough Cases

Advanced minimally invasive surgery plays a critical role in managing complex abdominal conditions, enabling precise intervention with faster recovery and reduced surgical impact. At the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 38-year-old male presented with low-grade adenocarcinoma of the colon, with mucosal extension and partial luminal obstruction.

Following preoperative optimisation in coordination with the Gastroenterology team, the patient underwent a laparoscopically assisted left limited hemicolectomy with partial mesocolon excision.

The colocolic anastomosis was completed...

Advanced minimally invasive surgery plays a critical role in managing complex abdominal conditions, enabling precise intervention with faster recovery and reduced surgical impact. At the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 38-year-old male presented with low-grade adenocarcinoma of the colon, with mucosal extension and partial luminal obstruction.

Following preoperative optimisation in coordination with the Gastroenterology team, the patient underwent a laparoscopically assisted left limited hemicolectomy with partial mesocolon excision.

The colocolic anastomosis was completed through a small 2-inch subcostal incision, maintaining a minimally invasive approach while ensuring surgical precision. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged in a stable condition on Day 5.

This case reflects the strength of a minimally invasive surgical approach in managing complex cases, enabling effective treatment with faster recovery and improved patient outcomes.

Breakthrough Cases

Advanced minimally invasive surgery plays a critical role in managing complex surgical cases that are often considered high-risk. At the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 45-year-old male presented with severe epigastric pain and was diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis. He had previously consulted multiple surgeons for a routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy but was declined due to a large laparotomy scar from a prior splenectomy and the presence of portal hypertension. 

After careful evaluation, a completely laparoscopic approach was planned despite the surgical challeng...

Advanced minimally invasive surgery plays a critical role in managing complex surgical cases that are often considered high-risk. At the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 45-year-old male presented with severe epigastric pain and was diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis. He had previously consulted multiple surgeons for a routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy but was declined due to a large laparotomy scar from a prior splenectomy and the presence of portal hypertension. 

After careful evaluation, a completely laparoscopic approach was planned despite the surgical challenges. The procedure was performed with precision, successfully navigating the complexities associated with prior surgery and altered anatomy. 

The surgery was completed successfully, and the patient had an excellent postoperative recovery. He was discharged in a stable condition on Day 2 following the procedure. 

This case was led by Dr. P.K. Dewan, along with Dr. Abhimanyu Dewan, Dr. Ismail Khan, and Dr. Pooja, supported by the experienced surgical and nursing teams. 

It reflects the strength of advanced laparoscopic expertise in safely managing complex and previously declined cases, enabling effective treatment with faster recovery and improved patient outcomes.

Breakthrough Cases

Advanced minimally invasive surgery plays a critical role in managing complex cases with high surgical risk, offering safer outcomes and faster recovery. In a recent breakthrough case at the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 73-year-old patient with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension, along with diabetes, hypertension, and severe anemia due to hypersplenism, was successfully treated. The patient had been dependent on repeated blood transfusions, with increasing frequency over the past two years.

In a recent breakthrough case at the Yashoda Institute of Minimal Access, Robotic and Bariatric Surgery (MARBS), a 73-year-old patient with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension, along with diabetes, hypertension, and severe anemia due to hypersplenism, was successfully treated. The patient had been dependent on repeated blood transfusions, with increasing frequency over the past two years. 

After a detailed clinical evaluation, a laparoscopically assisted splenectomy was planned as a definitive treatment. The procedure was performed using a minimally invasive approach, enabling precise removal of the enlarged spleen while minimising surgical stress in a high-risk patient. 

The surgery was completed successfully, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. Following the procedure, the need for repeated blood transfusions was effectively resolved, marking a significant improvement in the patient’s clinical condition. 

This case was led by Dr. P.K. Dewan, along with Dr. Abhimanyu Dewan, Dr. Ismail Khan, and Dr. Pooja, supported by the experienced surgical and nursing teams. 

It reflects the strength of advanced laparoscopic techniques in managing complex conditions, offering definitive treatment while reducing complications and supporting improved quality of life for patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Minimal access (laparoscopic) surgery uses small incisions, a camera, and slim instruments for less pain and faster recovery. Robotic surgery allows the surgeon to control precise, wristed instruments with 3D magnified vision, ideal for complex procedures. Bariatric surgery includes weight-loss procedures like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, performed laparoscopically or robotically to improve weight and metabolic health.

Minimally invasive surgery offers less pain, smaller scars, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and a quicker return to daily activities.

Patients with a BMI above recommended thresholds, with or without obesity-related conditions, may be eligible after a thorough multidisciplinary evaluation.

Both laparoscopic and robotic surgeries are safe when performed by experienced surgeons. Robotic assistance can provide additional precision and stability in technically complex cases.

Most patients can resume light activity within a few days and return to their regular routines within one to two weeks, depending on the procedure.
