Successful Liver Transplant at KIMS

Successful Liver Transplant at KIMS
A Young professional has been given new lease of life. A 36 years old gentlemen who has been suffering from end stage Liver disease and severely ill and has been In & Out of Hospital for the last few months has been given a new lease of life by a kind donor and her family who have decided to donate her organs after her death. It must have been a very sorrowful and traumatic event for her family but has brought cheer to at last four people and their families through the act of Organ donation Gift of life / The Ultimate gift.

This is the first Liver Transplant at KIMS and we are pleased to say that it went of very well. Patient was in excellent health when he was discharged. The patient prior to Transplantation was very sick and has literally; hit the end of the road with expected life span of a few months if not weeks. Now we expect him to fully recover over coming weeks and he rehabilitated as a fully productive young man (albeit with a woman’s liver).

This was only possible due to magnanimous gesture from the donors family and tireless effort from pro active KIMS organ donation team. Organ donation is a great gift of life.

KIMS becomes the first hospital to do Robotic Colorectal Surgery in India

Robo Doctors have become reality in India. Robotic-assisted surgeries are going great guns. Even though the technology is so new and just ten years old, it has greater acceptance. Within four months since KIMS piloted South India’s first robot assisted surgeries at a whopping investment of Rs 10 crore, more than 40 robotically assisted surgeries have been performed among all the specialties put together.

Robotically assisted surgery marked the new era in medical treatment. It is the most defining moment in the history of medical sciences. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome both the limitations of minimally invasive surgery or to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. Using this technology, Surgeons at KIMS have done a rare surgery — Robotic Colorectal Surgery for the first time in India. Though there are 4 Robos in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad), KIMS is the first in the country to use Robotic help to do the surgery.

Colon in layman’s language is the large intestine. It is part of our digestive system. It’s a long, hollow tube at the end of digestive tract where our body makes and stores stool. Many disorders affect the colon’s ability to work properly. Some of these include Colorectal cancer; Colonic polyps – extra tissue growing in the colon that can become cancerous; Ulcerative colitis – ulcers of the colon and rectum; Diverticulitis – inflammation or infection of pouches in the colon; and Irritable bowel syndrome – an uncomfortable condition causing abdominal cramping and other symptoms Treatment for colonic diseases varies greatly depending on the disease and its severity. Treatment may involve diet, medicines and in some cases, surgery.

Colorectal surgery repairs damage to the colon, rectum, and anus through a variety of procedures that may have little or great long-term consequence to the patient. Colorectal surgery is a specialised field in medicine, dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. KIMS has performed four surgeries three on men and one female all belong to the state. As it is Colorectal surgery is nothing new and is routine. Earlier, they were done open and laproscopically. Now with the advent of Robotics in Medical Field, Robotic Arms are used for more effective surgery. Robotic Colorectal Surgery is the most upcoming branch in the medical treatment.

The surgical team is comprised of the Dr. Surya Nalamati, Senior Surgeon, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit U.S.A; Dr. M.B.V.Prasad, Consultant Surgical Gastro Enterologist; Dr. Ravichander, Surgical Oncologist; Dr. Lakshmikanth, Surgical Gastro Enterologist of KIMS Hospital. The procedures are of two to three hours duration.

The types of colon and rectal problems treated with this type of surgery have challenges of the small, narrow pelvis which houses blood vessels and nerves that surgeons must preserve to protect a patient’s quality of life. Surgeons use the robotic system to treat diseases and cancers found in these narrow constraints of the pelvis, including rectal and anal cancers as well as diverticulitis.
Robotic Assisted Surgery is used for colon and rectal problems because the surgeon has a better view of the pelvic area and can spot diseased areas much more precisely. Robotic-assisted surgery allows the surgeon to keep more of the colon intact, reducing the need for a colostomy (A colostomy is an incision (cut) into the colon (large intestine) to create an artificial opening or “stoma” to the exterior of the abdomen.). When procedures are performed in this minimally invasive fashion, many patients are able to avoid the need for a colostomy and the chances are much higher that sexual function and bladder control will be preserved, greatly improving the patient’s quality of life.

Robotic Colorectal surgery benefits the patient immensely. Patients benefit from a much smaller surgical incision, , which leads to less pain and a shorter recovery time. Most common patient benefits include: Significantly less pain during recovery, Less blood loss during surgery, Less complications during surgery, Less scarring after surgery, Shorter hospital stay, A quicker return to work and daily activities, Often better clinical outcomes, Preserves sexual function, Preserves bladder control and Higher quality of life after surgery.

Robotic system is proven for Colorectal Surgery. More than ten thousand procedures are reported across the globe so far in the last ten years since Robotic Assisted Surgeries are introduced.

KIMS Hospital initiated a drive in June 2011 to use the robot-assisted technology in a bid to benefit and save patients suffering from plethora of problems like Urology (prostate, kidney, and urinary bladder) and Gynaecology surgeries and subsequently add other specialties such as ENT, Cardiac Surgery, Gastro Intestinal Surgery and Liver Resections.

Robotic Assisted Surgery is introduced in association with Vattikuti Urology Institute (VUI), Michigan, USA of Vattikuti Foundation, a major global player in propagating the concept of Minimally Invasive Research with a specific focus in robotic surgery. To take robotic surgery to the next level, robotic surgery institutes are established globally. Similarly it associates with KIMS to set up South India’s first robotic facility. VUI has performed over 6000 robotic surgeries, more than any other hospital in the world.

The major advantage of Robotics assisted surgery is that the incisions made are tiny so the recovery from surgery is extremely quick. Quick healing time is hallmark of this surgery. Rapid recovery from surgery is not only better for the patient, but it is less expensive for society. Some other major advantages of robotic surgery are precision, miniaturization, decreased blood loss, less pain and lesser hospital stay. The surgery could be conducted quickly and safely with negligible blood loss.

Further advantages are articulation beyond normal manipulation and three-dimensional magnification, resulting in improved ergonomics. Robotic techniques are more useful where surgeons’ hands cannot reach. And also 360 degree rotation, which through hands is not possible. Thus robots take surgery beyond the limits of human hand. On an average, patients leave the hospital two to five days earlier than patients who have undergone traditional open surgery and return to work and normal activity 50% more quickly. This also reduces the number of staff needed during surgery, nursing care. Therefore, the overall cost of hospital stay comes down. So there is no blood loss, so no blood transfusions are required. And use of pain medication too comes down, Dr. Rao explained

The first Hyderabad Basic Knee Arthroscopy course held at KIMS

 

The first Hyderabad Basic Knee Arthroscopy course held at KIMS
Eminent arthroscopy specialists from Mumbai and Chennai conducted the course

Hyderabad, July 23….. The first Hyderabad Basic Knee Arthroscopy course was conducted here in city today at the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), minister road, Secunderabad.

The course aimed to teach basic knee arthroscopy skills to young orthopedic surgeons through video lectures, hands on training and live surgery. The course faculty included eminent arthroscopy specialists DR Anant Joshi from Mumbai, Dr Lenin from Chennai and local faculty from the KIMS hospital. The course was attended by 40 orthopedic surgeons with keen interest in arthroscopy.

Knee arthroscopy otherwise known as key hole surgery is performed quite commonly for sports related injuries to the knee ligaments. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscopy, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic surgery entails separate skills as compared to other commonly performed orthopedic surgeries. It needs proper training and gradual skill acquisition.

We exercise in order to keep fit and to avoid getting fat. Sports seem like a fun way of burning extra calories to lose weight, but, sports injuries are increasing many fold. The number of injuries keeps increasing every year.

The course, which is firs of its kind helped many young orthopedic surgeons acquire those special skills. The course was organised as part of the Continuous Medical Education by the KIMS.

KIMS to pilot South India’s first robot assisted surgeries soon

Robot-assisted surgery is now a reality. South India’s first robotic facility set up at a cost of around Rs10 crore, will start functioning from June 26th and will be used in both cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries. KIMS (Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Ltd.), a 500 bedded, upscale, Multi Super Specialty Hospital initiated a drive to use the robot-assisted technology in a bid to benefit and save patients suffering from plethora of problems like Urology (prostate, kidney, and urinary bladder) and Gynaecology  surgeries and subsequently add other specialties such as ENT, Cardiac Surgery, Gastro Intestinal Surgery and Liver Resections announced Dr.B. Bhaskar Rao, Cardiothoracic Surgeon and Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of KIMS, addressing a press conference in city today.

Robotic Assisted Surgery is introduced in association with Vattikuti Urology Institute (VUI), Michigan, USA of Vattikuti Foundation, a major global player in propagating the concept of Minimally Invasive Research with a specific focus in robotic surgery. To take robotic surgery to the next level, robotic surgery institutes are established globally. Similarly it associates with KIMS to set up South India’s first robotic facility. VUI has performed over 6000 robotic surgeries, more than any other hospital in the world, added Dr. Rao.

Stating further Dr. Rao added that they are organizing robotic surgeries from 26th June to 2nd July 2011 and live workshop for consultants on 29th June 2011 on Robotic Surgery. Dr James Peabody, a leading consultant in Robotic Surgery at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A., will conduct various Urological Surgical procedures including Radical Prostectomy, Radical Cystectomy, Pyeloplasty and Partial Nephrectomy, Ureteral Reimplantation, Urinary Fistulae, Adrenalectomy, IVC Thrombus Clearance, Retroperitoneal Node Dissection, Live Donor Nephrectomy and Hysterectomy for benign conditions.

The major advantage of Robotics assisted surgery is that the incisions made are tiny so the recovery from surgery is extremely quick. Quick healing time is hallmark of this surgery. Rapid recovery from cardiac surgery is not only better for the patient, but it is less expensive for society. Some other major advantages of robotic surgery are precision, miniaturization, decreased blood loss, less pain and lesser hospital stay. The surgery could be conducted quickly and safely with negligible blood loss informed Dr. B.Bhasker Rao.

Further advantages are articulation beyond normal manipulation and three-dimensional magnification, resulting in improved ergonomics. Robotic techniques more useful where surgeons hands cannot reach. And also 360 degree rotation, which through hands is not possible. Thus robots take surgery beyond the limits of human hand. On an average patients leave the hospital two to five days earlier than patients who have undergone traditional open-heart surgery and return to work and normal activity 50% more quickly. This also reduces the number of staff needed during surgery, nursing care. Therefore, the overall cost of hospital stay comes down. So there is no blood loss, so no blood transfusions are required.  And use of pain medication too comes down, Dr. Rao explained.

In traditional open-heart surgery, the surgeon makes a ten to twelve-inch incision, accesses the heart by splitting the sternum (breast bone) and spreading open the rib cage. The patient is then placed on a heart-lung machine and the heart is stopped for the length of the surgery. Not only is this a way for bacteria that can cause infections to access the patient’s body, it also leads to a painful wound, which takes time to heal.

The Vattikuti Urology Institute has demonstrated the superiority of Robotic Radical Prostatectomy over other techniques.

  • 95-98% of patients with organ-confined, low volume, low-PSA cancer had negative margins.
  • 95% or more have had no detectable PSA in the blood in follow up visits.
  • Most patients go home within 24 hours.
  • Most patients have very little blood loss or pain.
  • As of 2010, of the 5000+ people who have had Vattikuti Institute Prostactectomy (VIP) procedure, only six went on to die of cancer (less than 2%)

Dr MBV Prasad, Consultant -Surgical Gastroenterologist giving details about the Robotic Assited Surgical Centre at KIMS,

Compared with other minimally invasive surgery approaches, robot-assisted surgery gives the surgeon better control over the surgical instruments and a better view of the surgical site. In addition, surgeons no longer have to stand throughout the surgery and do not tire as quickly. Naturally occurring hand tremors are filtered out by the robot’s computer software. Finally, the surgical robot can continuously be used by rotating surgery teams.

Robot-assisted surgery moves minimally invasive surgery to a new level. Surgical robotics is a new technology that now holds significant promise. Robotic surgery is often heralded as the new revolution, and it is one of the most talked about subjects in surgery today. Unlike conventional laparoscopic surgery, the robotic system provides unprecedented highly magnified, three-dimensional views of the operating field, eliminates tremors in the surgeon’s hand movements, allows for greater freedom of motion for instruments, and all motion is intuitive – when the surgeon directs an instrument in a particular direction, it moves in that direction.

Now India has good number of trained robotic surgeons. Once we install a robot, more doctors trained in the procedure will be available.  Robotic surgery can be best useful in complex surgeries that cannot be done using traditional procedures like laproscopics, he added.

Surgery is not very costly. It is as cheap as any other laparoscopic surgery, more so ever for certain surgeries, it is lesser cost than laparoscopic surgery. Presently well over 300 to 400 patients visit abroad for these procedures. Now they can save precious foreign exchange on travel, stay abroad etc. We also expect to attract patients from across India and abroad. We expect to serve about 300 to 400 patients a year, informed Dr. B. Bhaskar Rao. Once the technology becomes popular, we expect costs to still come down, more so ever it will sooner or latter be covered by insurance.

The robot that we are going to install is the best and the latest in the country, said Dr Bhaskar Rao, who is a consultant Cardio Thorasic Surgeon with more than 18000 heart surgeries to his credit. We know there is limited scope for such surgeries in India because there are only three or four robotic medical facilities available in the country, he said.

Robot-assisted surgery was developed to overcome limitations of minimally invasive surgery. Instead of directly moving the instruments the surgeon uses a computer console to manipulate the instruments attached to multiple robot arms. The computer translates the surgeon’s movements, which are then carried out on the patient by the robot. Other features of the robotic system include, for example, an integrated tremor filter and the ability for scaling of movements (changing of the ratio between the extent of movements at the master console to the internal movements of the instruments attached to the robot).

Robot is a master slave to the surgeon. It only obeys the orders from the surgeon. It does not do anything on its own. It can never do anything on its own.

The robotic system that made it all possible is the da Vinci surgical robotic system, manufactured by the California-based Intuitive Surgical. The da Vinci System is FDA cleared for a variety of surgical procedures including surgery for prostate cancer, hysterectomy and mitral valve repair, and is used in more than 1000 hospitals in the Americas and Europe and is safe and has proven track record, which patients need not worry about. Robot assisted surgeries are now most sought after surgeries in the most developed nations.  And we are not lagging behind.

At present most robotic surgeries are carried out in the United States. But, it is catching up in this region as well. “There are about 50-60 robotic systems in Southeast Asia. Robotic surgeries are regularly  performed in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Korea. They are carried out in India for almost one year now.

KIMS offers multi-specialty treatment and facilities on par with its global competitors. This hi-tech medical facility has all the services required to handle every medical problem. They are equipped with a 24 hour ambulance service, a round the clock Pharmacy and a diagnostic centre, while providing services that encompass almost all major specialties such as Cardiology, Urology, Nephrology, Dermatology, Gynaecology, etc. KIMS aims to ensure that every need of the patients is met with speed, accuracy, efficiency, and quality.

KIMS is organizing robotic surgeries from 26th June to 2nd July 2011 and live workshop for consultants on 29th June 2011 on Robotic Surgery

People are advised to take advantage of the same.
