AIIMS Raipur has completed 100 robotic-assisted surgeries within four months of launching its robotic surgery programme, marking a major milestone for advanced surgical care in Central India.
Since the programme was introduced in August 2025, the institute has carried out a wide range of complex procedures using robotic technology, including nephrectomy, cystectomy, hemicolectomy, prostatectomy, pyeloplasty, hernia repairs, gastrectomy and hysterectomy. The growing volume reflects rapid clinical adoption and expanding surgical capability at the centre.
The robotic surgery programme was launched with the aim of improving access to minimally invasive procedures for patients in Chhattisgarh and neighbouring states, while also creating a structured platform for surgeon training and academic development. AIIMS Raipur is the first government hospital in Central India to offer robotic-assisted surgery.
The institute revealed that the technology has led to better patient outcomes, including smaller incisions, reduced pain and blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery, while also improving operating efficiency and reducing waiting times, particularly for general surgery cases.
The use of robotics has also enabled faster surgical performance. According to the institute, prostate surgeries are now being completed in 154 to 170 minutes, significantly lower than the global average of around 200 minutes.
AIIMS Raipur highlighted that the milestone reflects the strengthening of its robotic surgery ecosystem and its growing role as a regional hub for advanced surgical care.
