The Role of Robotics in Colorectal Surgery - Cancer Surgery Clinic

Dr. Ganesh Nagarajan provides robotic colorectal surgery in Mumbai with significantly less pain. It becomes more and more affordable to all cancer patients. Robotic surgery has grown exponentially in the last decade. Many units across the globe have successfully adopted robotic surgery for colorectal cancers. There are many advantages of robotic surgery in rectal cancers when compared to laparoscopic or even open surgery. We routinely perform robotic colorectal surgeries with excellent results. The robotic arms are controlled by the surgeon who looks through a special monitor to obtain a high-definition view of the operation site.


The benefits to the patient may include:

  • Reduced pain and trauma to the body
  • Less blood loss
  • Less postoperative pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Faster recovery and return to work
  • Less scarring
  • A more precise surgery


During a robotic colectomy, surgeons remove cancerous portions of the colon and rectum, as well as benign tumors and polyps. A robot-assisted approach provides surgeons with the tools to connect the two ends of the colon after the cancer has been removed. The procedure can be completed with a few tiny incisions, rather than the one long incision used in traditional open colon surgery.


Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform complex rectal cancer surgery, which had been extremely challenging, in a minimally invasive manner. The robot provides improved visualization of the surgical site through 3D magnification, enhanced dexterity for manipulation and dissection of tissue, and greater precision.
