KARACHI: Jinnah Hospital has achieved another milestone by successfully conducting robotic surgery on patients suffering from diabetes and obesity.
For the first time in the history of Pakistan, successful robotic surgery was performed on people suffering from diabetes and obesity at Jinnah Hospital Karachi.
Professor Shahid Rasool, the head of Karachi’s Jinnah Hospital, claims that after this robotic surgery, patients will not need sugar medicines and insulin.
According to the report of Moqar Maasar Express, the doctors led by Professor Shahid Rasool tried to end diabetes by shortening the woman’s stomach through surgery and also shortened the colon to speed up the digestive system.
According to the report, the robotic surgery lasted for an hour and the 45-year-old diabetic woman weighed 140 kg. Professor Shahid Rasool said that after the surgery, the woman’s weight will be less and an attempt has been made to eliminate sugar, after that the patient will not be given diabetes medicines and insulin. He said that 70% of such patients get rid of diabetes.
According to the report, 135 robotic surgeries of urology and gynecology including general surgeries have been done in Jinnah Hospital Karachi, which was started in September 2023, but gynecology was trained for robotic surgeries because it is a complex surgery. A workshop on Gynecological Robotic Surgeries was also organized.
It should be noted that even in the neighboring countries of Pakistan, metabolic surgery has not been done through robotic surgery. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, obesity and metabolic surgery have been done at Jinnah Hospital.
In laparoscopic surgery, the wrist rotates through an angle of 180 degrees, while the arms of robotic surgery are capable of rotating through an angle of 360 degrees. The operation does not bleed much and the cut is also small.
