Gurugram-based Global Health Limited (Medanta) on Thursday said robotic-assisted surgery is transforming kidney transplantation by enabling complex procedures through minimally invasive techniques that reduce pain, blood loss and recovery time for patients.
At Medanta – The Medicity, recently named India’s best hospital by Newsweek in 2026, doctors have performed more than 325 robotic kidney transplants, with specialists from multiple disciplines collaborating on each case to improve patient outcomes.
According to the hospital, robotic systems provide surgeons with high-resolution 3D visualisation and enhanced precision through miniature wristed instruments controlled entirely by the operating surgeon. The technology has become particularly significant in urology, where surgeries are often complicated due to the dense concentration of organs and blood vessels in the pelvic region.
Dr. Prasun Ghosh, Chairman of Urology, Robotic Surgery and Kidney Transplant at Medanta Gurugram, said robotic kidney transplantation has helped address many complications traditionally associated with the procedure while extending the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to transplant patients.
India records more than two lakh patients requiring kidney transplants annually, but only 10,000 to 12,000 procedures are conducted each year, highlighting a major treatment gap.
Medanta said it has launched a dedicated North East helpline with multilingual support and announced that Dr. Ghosh will be available for consultations in Guwahati on April 25.
