The Sindh government on Saturday inaugurated a robotic surgery and training centre at Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), according to Express Tribune.
“The robots can also perform surgery on those organs which are difficult to reach by hand, it is a revolutionary initiative in the field of surgery,” said Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah at the inauguration of Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery and Training of Pakistan at SIUT.
He congratulated SIUT’s founder Dr Adib Rizvi and his team for installing the facility at the hospital. “Robotic surgery can be performed swiftly and the patient recovers quickly since it reduces pain in the human body as well as blood loss and the chance of infection.”
