Precision, quicker recovery help robotic surgeries gain traction

Till 2020, Kolkata had seen less than a dozen robotic procedures. Since then, more than 800 such surgeries have been done. With more hospitals set to introduce the technology, the number could rise further. While at least four private hospitals in Kolkata offer robotic surgeries, IPGMER was set to be the first state hospital to have the state-of-the-art facility four years ago.
