Robotic Surgeries — Explore Procedures and Specialties
Robotic surgery is used across multiple specialties, and the best way to start is by understanding which procedures are commonly performed, why they are recommended, and what the patient journey typically looks like. This page gives you a structured overview of robotic surgeries and helps you move from exploration to the right consultation.
What robotic surgery means
Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a minimally invasive approach where a surgeon uses a console to control precise surgical instruments. The system enhances visualization and dexterity, which can be especially helpful in complex anatomical areas. Importantly, the robot does not operate independently. The surgeon remains in full control throughout the procedure.
Common specialties using robotic surgery
Urology
Robotic surgery is widely used for procedures involving the prostate, kidney, bladder, and urinary tract, depending on case suitability.
Gynecology
Certain hysterectomy, endometriosis, fibroid-related, and pelvic procedures may be performed using robotic assistance, based on clinical judgment.
General surgery and gastrointestinal surgery
Robot-assisted techniques may be used in selected hernia, gallbladder, colorectal, and digestive system procedures.
Oncology
For some cancer-related surgeries, a robotic approach may support precision and access. This decision is always made by the oncology team based on cancer staging and the overall treatment plan.
Cardiac surgery
In selected cases, robot-assisted approaches may be used for specific heart procedures in centers with appropriate expertise.
Ear, nose and throat surgery, orthopedics, and pediatrics
Robotic or robotic-assisted approaches may be considered in selected cases based on facility capability and specialist recommendation.

What to expect in a typical journey
Step 1: Consultation and evaluation
The doctor reviews your symptoms, medical history, and reports. Additional tests may be required to confirm the diagnosis or evaluate suitability for robotic surgery.
Step 2: Decision on surgical approach
Robotic surgery is one of several possible approaches. The final decision depends on your condition, anatomy, previous surgeries, and the expertise available at the hospital.
Step 3: Pre-operative preparation
Preparation may include optimizing blood sugar or blood pressure, adjusting medications, anesthesia evaluation, and pre-surgery instructions.
Step 4: Surgery and hospital stay
Hospital stay varies by procedure and individual factors. A well-organized center will share a clear expected stay range and discharge criteria.
Step 5: Recovery and follow-up
Recovery includes wound care, activity guidance, dietary advice when relevant, medications, and follow-up visits. Your doctor will personalize recovery based on your needs.
Cost and factors influencing robotic surgery pricing
Robotic surgery costs can vary widely based on several factors, including:
- Procedure complexity and duration
- Hospital category and room type
- Consumables and equipment usage
- Surgeon and anesthesia fees
- Intensive care unit requirements, if any
- City and hospital infrastructure

Frequently asked questions
How do I share my reports safely?
Share only relevant reports. Avoid sending sensitive information unless required for booking. Use secure upload options when available and keep originals with you.
What if I do not know the right department?
Start with a guidance call or chat. Based on your symptoms and reports, you will be routed to the most appropriate specialty for evaluation.
Is recovery always faster with robotic surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure, your overall health, and post-operative care. While minimally invasive approaches may help in many cases, results vary by individual.
Can family members book on behalf of the patient?
Yes. Family members can book appointments for parents, spouses, or children. Please bring the patient’s documents to the consultation.
