First Tele-Robotic Surgery in Ratlam Performed by Dr. Mahak Bhandari

A historic milestone in medical innovation was achieved as Dr. Mahak Bhandari, one of Central India’s leading Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgeons, successfully performed the first-ever tele-robotic surgery in Ratlam. In this groundbreaking procedure, Dr. Mahak Bhandari operated remotely from IRCAD India, Indore, while the patient was located at Jain Diwakar Hospital, Ratlam.

The procedure was conducted using cutting-edge robotic surgical technology that allowed Dr. Mahak Bhandari to control the surgical instruments with extreme precision in real time from Indore. This advancement not only demonstrates the power of technology in modern medicine but also signifies a major step forward in improving healthcare accessibility in tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India.

Tele-robotic surgery enables surgeons to perform complex procedures remotely, reducing the need for patients to travel to metro hospitals for specialized care. It ensures enhanced accuracy, smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and reduced postoperative discomfort. For patients in Ratlam and nearby regions, this marks the beginning of a new era where expert surgical care is just a connection away.

Speaking about the achievement, Dr. Mahak Bhandari said, "Our goal is to make advanced surgical care available to everyone, regardless of where they live. With tele-robotic technology, we can now reach patients in distant cities and deliver the same level of precision and expertise as we do in person."

This landmark surgery is a testament to how innovation and technology can transform healthcare delivery. It positions Indore as a hub for robotic and tele-surgery excellence and sets the foundation for expanding such services across Madhya Pradesh and beyond, bringing world-class medical treatment closer to every patient.
