The platform will support intricate procedures involving the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, biliary system, intestines, rectum, anal canal and urological organs, as well as minimally invasive interventions for reproductive conditions and chest tumours. It will enhance capabilities in complex hernia repairs, bile duct exploration, diaphragmatic and hiatus hernia repair, bariatric and metabolic surgery, hysterectomy and tubal reimplantation. High-end procedures like liver transplantation and cardiac bypass are also expected to benefit from its stability and dexterity.

Chairman Dr. Rajesh Jeganathan said the centre aims to make minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgery more accessible and affordable. He highlighted that robotic systems offer a magnified 3D view, reduce hand tremors, minimise blood loss, and allow surgeons to work more precisely and comfortably—leading to safer surgeries, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, especially for cancer patients requiring complex procedures.
