Robotic Surgery Milestone – A First in Mysore
History has been created at Bharath Cancer Hospital, Mysore. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Vijay Kumar and Dr. Raxith Sringeri, renowned surgical oncologists and Mysore’s very first robotic surgeons, our hospital has reached a major milestone—over 100 robotic surgeries successfully completed. As the region’s dedicated robotic surgical unit, we are proud to set new standards for cancer care and minimally invasive surgery, making us the first and only robotic surgery center in Mysore. . We are the first and only hospital in Mysuru to offer PET-CT scanning, providing this advanced imaging since 2014. Our newest addition is a state-of-the-art 3-ring PET 16-slice CT scanner with Q Clear technology, allowing detection of even the smallest cancer lesions with high precision.The Most Comprehensive Robotic Program in South India
Our robotic surgery program, now among the most extensive in South India, provides a broad spectrum of advanced procedures across every organ system. From highly precise thyroid and head & neck surgeries to challenging lung resections, gastrointestinal and colorectal cancer procedures, and gynecologic cancer operations, our team delivers world-class care with unmatched accuracy.
We have performed robotic surgeries for:
- Thyroid, head & neck
- Lung, chest
- Esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver
- Kidney, bladder, and advanced urological reconstructions, including radical nephroureterectomy with partial cystectomy and ileal augmentation cystoplasty
- Uterus and ovarian cancers
Women undergoing gynecologic robotic surgery at our center often enjoy same-day discharge, thanks to reduced pain and faster recovery—an example of how technology directly benefits patients.
Why This Milestone Matters for Mysore and Beyond
Robotic surgery brings key benefits to patients and their families:
- Smaller incisions and less pain
- Quicker healing and hospital discharge
- Enhanced safety and precision in cancer removal
- Advanced care without having to travel to metro cities
For Mysore, this achievement is more than a number—it is a promise of world-class, compassionate healthcare delivered here at home.
