Kerala has become the first in the Asia-Pacific region to use robotic technology for neurosurgery.
The Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences confirmed that it has used the French-made Rosa Robotic Assistant to successfully carry out surgeries to treat epilepsy patients.
The new generation robotic surgical technology - ROSA - will assist a broad range of surgical interventions to treat Parkinson and Epilepsy treatments, brain tumours, hemorrhagic strokes and endoscopic surgery of the brain.
The robot is comparable to a "GPS" for the brain and can be used for guidance, precision and accuracy during a variety of cranial procedures. It requires surgical planning with preoperative imaging data, patient registration and precise positioning and handling of instrument.
To date, ROSA, is one of two robotic assistants approved for neurosurgical procedures and in routine clinical use in Europe, the United States and Canada, claimed the Meditech of France, its manufacturers.
"Though robotics doesn't replace a surgeon's skill and cannot accomplish all neurosurgical tasks, it provides a precise, mathematically correct trajectory to the destination in the brain. In that trajectory, it will guide the surgeon's instruments for whatever be the purpose. Besides providing this precision and accuracy, it allows the surgeons to focus on other aspects of the surgery," said Dr. Prem Nair, Medical Director of Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences at a press conference in New Delhi today.
The Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences has already commissioned a da Vinci robotic technology for surgical solutions for Gynec-oncology, Urology and Gastrointestinal cases. Progressively, more robotic surgical machines will be inducted to set up India's first Centre for Excellence in Robotics in the healthcare sector at the Kochi facility of Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences.
"The field of robotic neurosurgery is still in its early stage of development and we have been given the tasks of developing several of these applications. Medtech specifically has developed a robot for spine surgery and we have been given the task of helping expanding the applications of robotics in spine surgery," said Dr. Ashok Pillai, Professor of Neurosurgery and Robotics at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences.
Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences is credited with carrying out the first successful double hand transplant in South Asia, first successful treatment for acute blood cancer (myeloid leukaemia) in the country through a relatively new treatment protocol named 'Microtransplant' and third successful pancreas-kidney transplant in India. It also boasts of the rare facility in India for diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects and epilepsy.
The Amrita Advanced Centre for Epilepsy is the first center in India to establish Stereo-EEG - a minimally invasive technique for accurately recording and studying seizures from the brain to plan curative surgery.

The only bad thing is that the robot is French

Commercial grade A real-estate is being lapped up by mega Global funds seeking long term rent options re. IT industry in India.
I say a boom is around the corner. A boom like no other boom. The Modification of India is the investment darling of the world. Once The low hanging fruit of IT offices, malls and entertainment hubs is gone, the action will move to the housing market.
A multiplier type perfect storm is brewing.
1. Excess Global fund availability seeking opps. in the last and larget India market.
2. Modi's reforms like allowing REIT's into India in full force. Also other funds.
3. Oil to remain down re. The Democrats.
4. Upcoming $ Trillion infra. roll-out opening up bast land banks
5. Purchasing power going up , corruption going oit of style, and demand along with good governance.
BRICS membership hopefully translates to Brazil, Russia and China Co.'s jumping into Indian real estate. Then India can have skylines beyond the top 5 metros.
