Insurance coverage for robot-assisted surgery: A status check

In recent years, technology has brought numerous advancements to the healthcare industry, one of the most noteworthy being the rise of robot-assisted surgery (RAS). This type of minimally invasive surgery utilizes a robot to perform procedures, allowing for greater precision and control compared to traditional surgery methods.

A game changer

Robot-assisted surgery has been proven to have several benefits for patients. It results in smaller incisions and less scarring, leading to less post-operative pain and quicker recovery times. In fact, studies have shown that patients who undergo robot-assisted surgery often experience a 40-50% reduction in pain and a shorter hospital stay of approximately two days compared to traditional surgery methods.

With its ability to offer greater precision, control, and reduced risk of complications, robot-assisted surgery has proven to be a game changer in the healthcare industry today. The technology has the potential to transform the way surgeries are performed and improve patient outcomes. As the use surgical robots continues to grow, it is exciting to think about the potential it holds for the future of healthcare in India.
