Robotic surgery not only helps in reaching deep into the pelvis but also enables a surgeon to preserve the function of the organs while removing tumours in colon and rectum.
At a webinar on robotic colorectal procedures hosted by The Hindu along with Apollo Hospitals, Venkatesh Munikrishnan explained how robotic surgery not only helped the surgeons but also the patients.
“We are looking at functional outcome from the surgery. It is more in preserving the function of the rectum,” he said.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
