A short trip to Jaipur to explore — the fourth robotic platform in my journey.
From the legacy of da Vinci, the attempt of Hugo RAS, the dare of indigenous MERRIL, and now the well-marketed SSI Mantra — robotic surgery continues to evolve.
All the best to Dr. Saurabh, already doing wonderful work and taking robotic surgery forward in Jaipur. 🤖
One thing I’ve realised along the way:
The robot changes. The surgeon doesn’t.
The technology evolves, but the principles of surgery, anatomy, judgement and patient-first care remain the same.
