Step 1: Start with your condition or procedure

Robotic surgery is used across multiple specialties. If you already have a diagnosis or suggested procedure, begin there. If not, start by choosing the department that best matches your symptoms:

• Urology: prostate, kidney, bladder procedures
• Gynecology: hysterectomy, endometriosis, fibroids
• General surgery: gallbladder, hernia, GI procedures
• Oncology: select cancer-related surgeries
• Cardiac: select heart procedures where indicated
• ENT / Orthopedics / Pediatrics: specialty use-cases

Not sure? That’s okay—request a free guidance call and we’ll help you map symptoms to the right department.

Step 2: What to look for in a robotic surgeon profile

Procedure-specific experience

A surgeon may be excellent overall but less experienced in the exact procedure you need. Look for experience aligned to your case, such as prostatectomy, kidney surgery, or hysterectomy.

Team and hospital support

Robotic surgery relies on a trained OT team and equipment readiness. A strong profile often reflects the broader ecosystem, including hospital infrastructure, support services, and post-operative care.

Communication and clarity

The right surgeon is one who can clearly explain:

• Why surgery is needed or not needed
• Available alternatives and trade-offs
• The realistic recovery timeline
• Risks in your specific health context

Step 3: Questions to ask before you book

• Is robotic surgery a recommended approach for my condition?
• What tests do I need before a final decision?
• How long will I be in the hospital and when can I resume work?
• What are the possible complications and how often do they occur?
• What does the estimated cost include?
• Will insurance cover it and what documentation is required?

Step 4: Make your appointment request

1. Choose your preferred date and time range
2. Share basic details such as city, department, symptoms, and reports if available
3. Confirm the consultation mode (in-person or tele-consult)
4. Receive confirmation and next steps

What happens after booking

• Confirmation from the hospital or clinic team
• Guidance on reports to bring or tests to complete
• Information on consultation fees if applicable
• Any pre-visit instructions such as fasting or medication notes

If you don’t have reports yet

Many people start with symptoms rather than a diagnosis. RoboMitra can still help:

• Share your symptoms and concerns
• Get guidance on which specialist is appropriate
• Book an initial consultation to decide next steps

Your privacy and comfort

Medical decisions are personal. RoboMitra is designed to minimize friction—you share only what is needed to connect with a hospital, and you remain in control of your information.

Planning your journey: a simple 5-step framework

1. Clarify the problem. Note your symptoms and what affects them.
2. Collect key records. Gather scans, lab reports, and prescriptions.
3. Choose the right specialist. Match concerns to the correct department.
4. Compare options logically. Evaluate doctors and hospitals objectively.
5. Decide and plan recovery. Understand timelines, caregiver needs, and follow-ups.

This framework keeps the decision process structured and reduces anxiety by making each step clear.
