Shimla, Aug. 11 -- Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialties (AIMSS) Chamiyana has created history by becoming the first government health institution in Himachal Pradesh to perform high-end robotic surgery.
A resident of Khalini, Shimla, suffering from a prostate ailment, became the first patient to undergo the procedure on August 11.
The surgery, conducted by Dr. Anant Kumar, Dr. Pamposh Raina, and Dr. Pawan Kaundal, lasted nearly three hours-two hours less than a conventional procedure. Doctors said there was no blood loss, compared to the usual requirement of four units in traditional surgery, and the patient is expected to be discharged in 3-4 days instead of 8-10.
The patient's family expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Thakur...
