Apollo Children’s Hospital organised a workshop and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme on Pediatric Subcutaneous Endoscopic Surgery and Robotics, here on Saturday.
Addressing the gathering, Dr Ashwin Pimpalwar, Minimally Invasive Pediatric Surgeon, Houston, Texas, spoke about the da Vinci Si system.
Stating that advanced single port systems were in the offing, he said, if such robotic systems were made available, it would be like “a crab working inside the belly during the surgery.”
