First-ever robotic surgery performed at Karachi’s JPMC

According to sources, the first robotic surgery was successfully completed at Karachi's Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center (JPMC).

A 34-year-old patient underwent state-of-the-art gallstone surgery using the most recent robotic equipment, according to the JPMC director.

Surgical team led by Drs. Saddam and Mansab successfully completed this ground-breaking procedure in just 25 minutes under the direction of Prof. Dr. Shahid Rasool, Executive Director of Jinnah Hospital, according to a JPMC official.

Robotic surgery, hailed as the most recent development in surgical methods, expands the field of general surgery.

It excels in particular as a less invasive and uncomfortable substitute for lower abdomen treatments. The patient's quick recovery underlines the value of this novel strategy, he said.
