GMCH becomes first state hospital in Maharashtra to acquire single-access robotic surgery system
GMCH first state hospital to get single-access robotic surgery system
Govt Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Nagpur is set to become the first state-run hospital in Maharashtra to offer single-access robotic surgery, following government approval of a Rs 35 crore system. This initiative aims to make advanced robotic procedures accessible to economically weaker patients through schemes like MJPJAY, reducing costs compared to private hospitals where such surgeries can cost between ₹5 lakh and ₹8 lakh. The technology enables minimally invasive operations through a single small incision using miniature cameras and flexible instruments, offering benefits such as smaller scars, reduced blood loss, lower infection risk, and potential discharge within 24 to 48 hours. It supports complex procedures including prostate cancer, urinary bladder tumours, gynaecological conditions, and liver or pancreatic tumours.
