People with kidney stones and prostate problems have reason to cheer with the emergence of bloodless laser technology.
“The procedure is effective for all kinds of urinary stones from kidney to bladder. It is a very safe treatment options for prostate problems with negligible risk of bleeding. This is also risk free for cardiac patients,” said Salil Mohanty, vice president AMRI Hospitals Bhubaneswar, which has completed 100 bloodless laser surgeries in the state.
The technology has also been helping people of neighbouring states such as Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal.
“This surgery carries low risk of post-operative infection compared to procedures requiring blood transfusion. It is cost effective with the cost of surgery varying between Rs 70,000 to Rs 75,000. Unlike the traditional surgical processes, this technique requires only two days of hospitalisation,” said Subodh Das director of kidney transplant and renal sciences here.
The AMRI also plans to open a robotic surgery section where the surgery will be done using very small tools attached to a robotic arm. The surgeon controls the robotic arm sitting at a computer station.
AMRI also plans to impart training on the basics of robotic surgeries to interns, doctors and surgeons.
